Here are the key takeaways from PM Modi's Cabinet reshuffle which inducted 19 new faces and saw the exit of five Ministers of State. With the government approaching the halfway mark, delivery in thrust areas will be key. Bigwigs not touched but the reshuffle sends an unmistakeable message to heavyweights that it is time to deliver. PM Modi's choice reflects desire for faster results in priority areas like education, rural sector, sanitation, broadband connectivity, etc. Low-key performers rewarded while high-profile ministers who were seen as slack or speaking out of turn have been demoted.
