Bric-a-brac : Prabhu flying high


WHEN Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided to drop Suresh Prabhu, technocrat-turned politicians, in his first cabinet, politicians cited many reasons. Lack of mass connect is one of the oft-cited reasons for Prabhu’s exit. Prabhu led the Railway Ministry for three years and the Commerce Ministry for two years. The chartered accountant-turned politician has held several portfolios in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, too, as a representative of the Shiv Sena. Ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, he joined the BJP and became the Railways Minister in 2014. Prabhu even offered his resignation owing moral responsibility for a couple of rail accidents during his tenure. He was shifted to Commerce and Civil Aviation in 2017.
