In Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mega cabinet reshuffle Sunday Sep 03,2017, 4 ministers have been promoted for acing their assessments. Dharmendra Pradhan, Nirmala Sitharaman, Piyush Goyal and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi were sworn in for elevation to the cabinet
Piyush Goyal, the Minister of State for Power, delivered on the government's plan to electrify villages and on auctions in the scam-hit coal sector, and also brought about a turnaround in power production. He is seen as an energetic and hard-working minister.
Dharmendra Pradhan is another minister who has delivered on one of PM Modi's main schemes, one close to his heart - the "Give it Up" plan for people to forego subsidised cooking gas or LPG voluntarily. A low-profile worker, he is also seen to have succeeded in keeping the oil ministry clean of lobbies that have always blighted it.
Nirmala Sitharaman, one of the party's chief spokespersons before she was included in the Modi government, is seen to have grown into her role of Commerce minister. Recently, she travelled to China for a BRICS meeting - a delicate assignment in the middle of a lengthy standoff at the border over Doklam
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, the only Muslim face in the council of ministers, is seen to have defended the government strongly and ably in parliament, besides managing ties with the opposition. He has also faced a tough challenge in battling perceptions following a series of mob attacks over beef by self-styled cow vigilantes.
