The former Minister of External Affairs of India Sushma Swaraj has decided not to be a part of Modi 2.0. Due to the health issues, she didn’t contest election as well.
Everyone expected her to be in the swearing-in ceremony but, as they noticed her sitting in the audience row it was clear she isn’t part of Modi’s cabinet.
Sushma Swaraj took Twitter to thank Prime Minister and gave best wishes for the current term.
प्रधान मंत्री जी – आपने 5 वर्षों तक मुझे विदेश मंत्री के तौर पर देशवासियों और प्रवासी भारतीयों की सेवा करने का मौका दिया और पूरे कार्यकाल में व्यक्तिगत तौर पर भी बहुत सम्मान दिया. मैं आपके प्रति बहुत आभारी हूँ. हमारी सरकार बहुत यशस्विता से चले, प्रभु से मेरी यही प्रार्थना है.

सुषमा जी, आपने एक ऐसे मंत्रालय को नया आयाम दिया, नए मायने दिए, जो आम नागरिकों की पहुँच से परे माना जाता था. फ़ॉरेन मिनिस्ट्री को ह्यूमन टच देने के लिए आपको हमेशा याद किया जाएगा. You will be missed @SushmaSwaraj ji 🙏

In current politics, we don’t see opposition praising but, Sushma Swaraj received the deserving praise.
It’s a pity to not see people like @arunjaitley & @SushmaSwaraj among the ministers today. I wish them both well as they deal with the health issues that have kept them out of union cabinet.

I am delighted that a first-class professional diplomat will lead the External Affairs Ministry. I have worked closely with @DrSJaishankar over the years &am confident that the conduct of foreign policy will be in capable hands. But we’ll miss the personal touch of @SushmaSwaraj.

Govts may change, the cabinet may change, but Sushma Swaraj will go down as the most likeable cabinet ministers India has ever had. Hamid Ansari came back from a Pakistani Jail, he & his mother met Sushma ji on his return. Watch. I choked. pic.twitter.com/TVwqUC2Rxe

Going to miss @SushmaSwaraj as MEA. Whoever takes on the role has to fill the really tall shadow cast by her.

I did not realize (until 2 mins back) that #SushmaSwaraj @SushmaSwaraj is not swearing in, which means she will not be a part of #ModiSarkar2
I’m so disappointed because she was one of the best MEA India had. A shining jewel of the #ModiCabinet #ModiSwearingIn
