Letter Published in The National UAE on 2June 19 Narendra Modi’s new cabinet will make India prosperous I write in reference to your article Narendra Modi Picks Nirmala Sitharaman to steer India’s faltering economy (May 31). This was an excellent piece. Narendra Modi has not only introduced a number of new faces but has also changed some portfolios of Indian cabinet of ministers. In my view this is very laudable. New portfolios handed to Amit Shah, Arun Jaitley and Rajnath Singh make real sense for India’s economic development path. The dramatic rise of Nirmala Sitharaman from defence to finance shows the confidence bestowed on her by Mr Modi.All three have portfolios that come with great power and responsibility. This BJP cabinet will deliver on the promises made before and during the election by Mr Modi and will fight corruption, which is necessary. In this way, it will make India not only proud but also prosperous. Congratulations to Mr Modi and his team for securing a second term.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
