looks like Prabhu has quit the Shiv sena and joined the BJP might get railways. Talk about a super promotion. Not even part of the BJP and part of the sena for close to 30 years. Then joins BJP and is now Railway min. Very capable man though. But thats why he lost in 2009. Did well for the nation serving in committees but ignored his constituency. Turns a safe Sena seat into a loss. Thats why he was denied a ticket in 2014.

Suresh Prabhu will also come in via RS. So that is 2 spots that BJP needs to find in the next 6 months.
They will need one RS seat because Parikkar will go to RS immediately from UP.

As of now, NDA enjoys a limited strength of 65 out of the 245 seats in the Rajya Sabha. UPA, which too had limited strength, tots up to 102 members, including 10 members nominated by President during its tenure. The next round of elections to the Rajya Sabha is slated for November, when 10 MPs from UP and one member from Uttarakhand would be elected. While the Uttarakahnd seat could go either way, given the unstable nature of the Congress government surviving on a wafer-thin majority, BJP's poor strength in the UP assembly would ensure that it would not be able to even elect a single MP from the state to the Upper House. The next round would be in November 2015, for eight seats from UPA ruled Kerala and Jammu & Kashmir and one from NDA-ruled Puducherry. There would be two opening in the nominated category for the government, with HK Dua and Ashok Ganguly completing their term.
http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-05-20/news/49974635_1_rajya-sabha-bjd-next-round I am not too sure on the RS allocations. BJP basically has 1 slot in 1 year if the article is true The only thing i can think off is Prabhu gets given a safe BJP seat in the lok sabha where the MP resigns.

Jai Italy gets I&B. Looks like Modi missing Gujarat so much' date=' wants to be back there after 5 years.[/quote'] Rajyavardhan doesn't get sports ministry, nadda gets health ministry, and Gouda gets laws. I think you may be right

Najma Heptullah and Mukhtar Abbas Naqwi are the two muslims ministers in the Govt - she is Cabinet Minister for Minority affairs and he is Minister of State for Minority Affairs. Coincidence? The AIIMS whistle blower Sanjiv Chaturvedi, who had unearthed a record number of corruption and financial scams in his two years at AIIMS, was removed because of a request by JP Nadda. Nadda has now been made the Health Minister.

Nadd for health is a poor selection.Harshvardhan was a goood minister.
IF news reports are to be believed, Dr. Harshvardhan wasn't doing that good a job - its said that he is a doctor so he is too sympathetic towards doctors hence he may not have been the best person.

yeah i thought he was more of a party organiser than a government administrator
He has worked for a long time with Modi and he was the favorite for BJP Prez post before Amit Shah's name was finalized so he had to be given something big. So he was made a member of the BJP Parliamentary Board and now a Minister.

BTW another reason for Dr. Harshvardhan being given a smaller portfolio might be that BJP wants him to campaign heavily in Delhi....and since they still do not have someone for CM, they might be thinking of him...

There's only one election next year - Bihar. Even though its a big state, since there is only one election in the whole year, it should not be a big burden. Delhi election is there but its obviously happening in 2-3 months so it will be over soon and its not a big state as well.
