true...it could still be speculation. Some channels are suggesting that she may get defence.. which again is going to be a bad choice. My choice would be Ravi Shankar Prasad for External Affairs... & someone like Arun Jaitly or Dr Swamy for defence!

I actually want Arun Jaitly as foreign minister. He is well spoken and articulate. Sushma aunty would be a very bad choice. Ravi Shankar is ok.

In fact Arun Jaitly is someone who would fit in any ministries. be it home, finance, defence or foreign. But I think he is likely to take up finance, with Arun Shouri as deputy head of planning commission. I would rather give something like women & child welfare ministry to Sushma Swaraj.. she can enjoy the company there!

A real technocrat is better suited for the finance role. You don't need a well spoken person as the finance minister, you need someone who understands economics, especially macroeconomics. I am not sure about Jaitley's expertise in the field.

Maybe Jaitly is just the face while all the real work will be done by Modi's hand-picked technocrats. In Vajpayee's govt too they had people like Jaswant Singh & Yashwant Sinha as finance ministers. Not really sure about Jaswant Singh's credentials in economy & finance... but he was a good foreign minister though & brilliant communicator with that royal accent.

MJ Akbar is OK.. but Hardeep Puri seems to be in bit of a hurry. He might get a berth as minister of state for foreign affairs.. but cabinet post will go to a seasoned politician.

Was hoping Modi would be arriving under SPG cover in the bada$$ PM cavalcade (X5s, 7 Series, Merc Sprinter) but it seems he will only get this AFTER this ceremony.
