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.
