that's how a govt must run...reward for performers and punishment for nonperformers.. bjp is a performance-based party ..whoever is at the top has performed and delivered...unlike congress where only few families rules who are a bunch of losers.

[@saiecorp5646]

@peyush, then how do you explain treachery of raosaheb danave by supporting his son in law against official candidate.

[@cyberinsomnia3573]

Thanks for mentioning

[@garfieldzzzzzzzzzz]

Exactly who I was thinking of. I think Mr Gupta forgot to mention.

Sushma Swaraj was dropped because she also like Arun Jaitley is battling many health issues She refused to contest the elections as well because maybe she has decided to take some time off and focus on her health She is one person who definitely deserved her ministry out of all the ministers because we as people of the country have seen her prompt actions in so many cases and i don't think even the Prime Minister would deny her a post Its her own choice

[@preetitandale3173]

Arun Jaitley was a non performing asset in the cabinet If Modi would had made him FM he would had definitely lost 2024.So His bad health was just a bahana..He is fine..Many people including Gadkari and Shah opposed Jaitley..Because he failed to improve economy.This time Nationalism saved Modi.But Everytime Nationalism can't save you.If you can't improve economy in 10 years people loose faith in you

@gagan shah there is difference. Even if One is from dynasty, no one stops him from being a leader who performs. Even take Congress MOTILAL, Nehru and Indira. were leaders by their performance. But the decline of their dynasty deteriorated due to their self imposed leadership by Congress to those not willing to lead, but were made to. That started with Rajeev Gandhi, to Sonia, to Rahul and now eagerly waiting for Priyanka. All these were terrible performers. They not only let down their good family name they brought in very lousy ministers Infront of them, by that they let down the people very much.

[@bhartisaini6595]

@@prabhupremi Sure Sir. Will do so.

[@bhartisaini6595]

This election inevitably has been one-man's show. Dynastic rule had to come to end. But the interesting thing is who will now lead the opposition? For a democracy like ours, can't ignore neither do without opposition. Agreed formation of NDA'S 2.0 ministry is a pack of pleasant surprises, but it will be equally intriguing to learn who takes charge of Congress - Manmohan Singh, Kamal Nath, Jyotiradtiya Scindia, Sachin Pilot, etc,. Who?.

[@abhinayvj]

Dear Shekar sir, I keenly follow your updates and absolutely love your videos.. the knowledge and information that you give is super interesting! One small suggestion - not for you but for your editing team: While you give so many plots and sub-plots in your videos, it'd be very helpful for young adults like us to have a picture/image/text reference to what you are saying... I have watched all the 180 videos of Cut the Clutter and this is one thing that prominently stood up for me... For eg. Today while talking about the front row image of Mr. Modi's swearing in ceremony, it would have been very helpful to have that image in front of us and your insights on the background explaining it... I understand at times there are editing struggles or timelines to be met... But these small additions would add so much value to the existing great information and knowledge that you are offering..! Looking forward for more upcoming videos!

He will be Home minister

[@prashanthkumaryedla6998]

he is a jack of all. He headed ahmedabad co operative bank or consortium of co operative banks I don't remember properly. he single handedly turned them around. people appreciate him a lot in finance sector. he was also a stock broker before. He may fit into finance ministry but we are used to heavy weights handling finance portfolio and i think amit shah cant handle it like them.

[@romitsinghromit]

I have a genuine request to make to Shekhar Gupta and his team regarding the UPSC examination of Civil services and Central Armed Police Force.... Every year hundreds of seats go into waste as the students who get selected in these examination do not join their respective training academies because they aspire for a bigger post or have already got selected in their previous attempts and are giving exam for rank improvement. SirI have a request from your team to highlight our matter. I am fighting two cases in this matter in Delhi high court. Our request from the UPSC is to make provision for waiting list so that hundreds of seats do not go waste or carry forwarded to next year when there are hundreds of students without job and are below the last rank in the order of merit. The seat of a particular year must be fulfilled from the same year of recruitment. Sir I have written letter after letter to UPSC and PMO/ ministries regarding this matter. But the only reply that I got from UPSC through an RTI is that there is no such provision of maintaining a wait list in the examination rules. Sir please highlight our matter so that hundreds of seats do not go waste when there are jobless unemployed youth are standing in line. In these examinations huge amount of resources are exhausted every year and still seats as high as 70% go unfulfilled in UPSC CAPF Assistant Commandant examination. Same is the case with UPSC Civil services examination. Please help me and my colleagues who are fighting this grave injustice. I am at your disposal. Please fell free to contact me.

Couple of months back, you had called NDA, as “talent averse” based upon the exit of three economists. Now, you are eating those words.😊 Suresh Prabhu, Jayant Sinha and Rajyavardhan Rathod deserved to continue. All the three of them had performed competently. That shows that in future, more in Indira Gandhi style- no explanation for appointing or dismissing the ministers. Anyway, I want him to succeed in every respect in this term also.
