NEW DELHI
Reshuffle Roller-Coaster
The RSS’ strong aversion for Shourie has ruled him out. Mahajan is in the race but would prefer to go back to the party, if the reshuffle is linked to an organisational revamp.The industries portfolio, rendered vacant when Manohar Joshi took over as speaker, is likely to go to Anand Geethe of the Shiv Sena. An eye is being kept on the forthcoming state elections as well—which means inductions from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are likely. BJP MP V.K. Malhotra will probably get urban development, so that he can ‘rectify’ all that the previous incumbents have done, which queered the pitch for the party in the Delhi assembly polls.
