Now the biggest question floating in the Rajya Sabha is that who will take up the charge of the seat that was assigned to Smriti Irani. As of now, there are two names in talks that can potentially take up this seat. One of the names is of Sushma Swaraj. It s believed that Ms. Swaraj has taken the goals of External Affairs as set by Modi Government to new heights. She has played a key role in making the ministry more interactive and public-oriented. However, she couldn’t contest in Lok Sabha elections due to health reasons, plus she didn’t get a place in Modi 2.0 system despite of sharing a good rapport with the PM. Hence, it is quite possible that she will be brought into Rajya Sabha. Second name is that of Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha, who is counted among the trusted people of PM Modi. Though he has lost in Ghazipur’s Lok Sabha elections; however, his influence in Modi’s party hasn’t faded. Let’s see who, of these two, is brought to power.
