Kiren Rijiju also made the same mistake that Ravi Shankar Prasad did when he was a minister… the result is in front of everyone

On the occasion of the completion of nine years of its government at the Center, where the BJP plans to take the achievements of the Narendra Modi government to every house and start preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reviewing the work of his ministers. . Sometime ago, he had asked all the ministers to give details of their achievements. During the review of the work of ministers, the Prime Minister took back the charge of Law Ministry from Cabinet Minister Kiren Rijiju and sent him to the Ministry of Earth Sciences. Due to this action taken on Rijiju, other ministers must have started worrying about the fact that action should be taken to remove them or transfer them to some other ministry after finding any deficiency in their work.

What went wrong with Rijiju?

As far as the action taken on Rijiju is concerned, let us tell you that it was believed that his relationship with the judiciary was quite uneasy. Rijiju used to publicly make such comments on the judiciary which created a difficult situation for the government. Many times, the displeasure of the judges on Rijiju’s statements also came to the fore. Apart from this, many such decisions of the Supreme Court have come to the fore in the recent past, regarding which it was believed that the Law Ministry had not properly presented the government’s side. These decisions also included matters related to the politics of Maharashtra and Delhi. The judiciary was also not happy with the way Rijiju was pressurizing the demand for a government representative in the Supreme Court collegium. As law minister, Rijiju had termed the collegium system of appointment of judges of the Supreme Court and high courts as “out of step” with the Constitution of India, saying it was not supported by the people of the country. Not only this, his recent remarks about some retired judges being part of the ‘anti-India gang’ also drew strong reactions. Rijiju had said that some retired judges and some activists who are part of the ‘anti-India gang’ are trying to make the Indian judiciary play the role of the opposition party.

Achievements of Rijiju

By the way, there is no doubt that Kiren Rijiju, being the Law Minister, did the work of increasing basic to modern facilities in the courts at a very fast pace and he kept speaking the common man’s mind in public forums, but perhaps it was too much to say. Because of which he had to leave the Ministry of Law. About two years ago i.e. in July 2021, when Rijiju was promoted and made a cabinet minister, the Prime Minister had high hopes from him. But the law ministry headed by Rijiju continues to be mired in controversy. Even when Rijiju was made the Law Minister, the voices of criticism that emerged against him were that he was too new and less experienced for this important ministry. Rijiju, who was Minister of State for Home Affairs and Minister of State with Independent Charge of the Ministry of Sports Affairs earlier in the Modi government, although he is a big face of Northeast politics, he has not been removed from the cabinet, but he has been warned to improve his work by changing his ministry. has been given.

Rijiju kept repeating Ravi Shankar Prasad’s mistakes!

Rijiju actually made the exact same mistakes that Ravi Shankar Prasad did when he was Telecom and IT minister. Everyone was surprised when Prime Minister Modi dropped Ravi Shankar Prasad from his cabinet. In fact, Ravi Shankar Prasad, while being a minister, publicly clashed with well-known social media companies, due to which many times such a message was sent to foreign investors that on one hand India is inviting investment and on the other hand it is threatening us with its strict laws. Is. The message was going to the investors that it is not easy to do business in India due to strict laws. Several times Ravi Shankar Prasad had made such statements against social media companies, especially Twitter, which created an uncomfortable situation for the Modi government, which was presenting a bright picture of India on global forums. This was the reason that Ravi Shankar Prasad was shown the way out. In fact, Prime Minister Modi does not want institutions or ministries to be at loggerheads with each other and instead of becoming a hero through work, a minister should remain just a statement. Along with this, Ravi Shankar Prasad was not able to present the government’s side properly in the courts even though he was the law minister. The manner in which the central government was reprimanded by the High Court and sometimes by the Supreme Court during the second wave of the Corona pandemic had an adverse effect on the image of the Modi government. Apart from this, Ravi Shankar Prasad’s relationship with the judicial system as Law Minister was also not smooth and the Law Ministry under his leadership was not able to take adequate steps to fill the vacancy of a large number of judges.

the opposition besieged

Now that Kiren Rijiju has been discharged from the post of Law Minister, the opposition is also venting anger against him. Opposition parties, including the Congress, targeted Rijiju, calling him a ‘failed minister’. While Congress MP Manickam Tagore called Rijiju a “failed minister”, Rajya Sabha member Kapil Sibal quipped that the science behind the laws is not easy to understand. On the other hand, Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena leader and Rajya Sabha member Priyanka Chaturvedi, referring to the possible reasons for Rijiju being removed from the post of Law Minister and sent to the Ministry of Earth Sciences, said whether the recent decision of the Supreme Court on the issue of Maharashtra is not the reason. Was?

Will the new ministers bloom?

However, as far as the appointment of Arjun Ram Meghwal as the Law Minister is concerned, his vast experience as Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and winning elections from Bikaner and his administrative experience as an IAS officer has been taken into consideration. So it has been noticed, apart from his clean and honest image, the Rajasthan assembly elections to be held at the end of this year have also been taken care of. Recently, Gulab Chand Kataria, who was the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, was sent as the Governor of Assam and now Bikaner’s MP and Minister of State with independent charge at the Center Arjun Ram Meghwal has been given the charge of the important law ministry. It has to be seen what effect this has on the politics of Rajasthan. Along with this, it will also be important to see whether the strain that was going on in the relationship between the Modi government and the judiciary, will it be able to go away now?
