Congress glee over Smriti Irani's removal from HRD

Calling it a 'good step' to remove Smriti Irani from the HRD Ministry in the big Cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday, the Congress on Wednesday said shifting ministers from one position to another is of no use until they are removed. "No one was happy with the way Smriti Irani worked. The Rohit Vemula case, JNU issue...these kind of issues were raised when she was in the position, I believe that it was not good for any HRD ministry. She is removed and it is a good thing," Congress leader P.L. Punia told ANI. "The ministers are merely working for propaganda. What is the importance of shifting ministers from one position to another? It would have been a fair reshuffle if somebody would have been removed, but that was not done. And shifting from one ministry to other is of no use," he added. The Congress is so happy with smriti's removal that it has started advising, saying there are some more black legs. But it has not pointed them out. Given a chance the Congress would first say remove the Prime Minister.
