Sanjay Raut's "Masterstroke" Jibe At Ravi Shankar Prasad's Cabinet Exit

"We should be grateful to the BJP that such talented leaders from our party became a part of their party and they made them leaders," said Sanjay Raut

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut today took a jibe at the recent reshuffle of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet stating that veteran leaders like Ravi Shankar Prasad had been removed. "Ravi Shankar Prasad always used to boast about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's actions terming them as masterstrokes. However, this time this ''masterstroke'' seems to have rebounded on him," Mr Raut said. The Sena MP said that other experienced ministers like Prakash Javadekar and Thaawarchand Gehlot had to go home. "New faces have been introduced. Obviously, they would have hired on the basis of their merits," added Mr Raut. Four BJP leaders from Maharashtra were on Wednesday inducted into the Council of Ministers. Former Maharashtra chief minister Narayan Rane was made a Cabinet Minister and Kapil Patil, Dr. Bhagwat Karad and Bharati Pawar were inducted as Ministers of State.
