#ByeByeSmriti: Twitter Can’t Stop Mocking HRD Minster’s Exit!

Smriti Irani has been shifted to the Textiles Ministry and Twitter decided to mock her by trending #ByeByeSmriti

The Modi cabinet saw a rejig on Tuesday, with 19 new ministers entering the cabinet, 5 exiting and some being given different offices.

The controversial Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani, who ruffled quite a few feathers during her tenure, has been given charge of the Textiles Ministry. Twitter had its fair share of laughs at the change of office.

In Hindsight, Smriti Irani shouldn't have said 'Judge me by my Work'. Her boss just did

Smriti Irani is no more minister for education. This might be the closest we'll get to Acche Din

Nothing is truly ever lost on the internet. Twitter users proved this by finding the perfect images from Irani’s television days to capture how she must feel about the cabinet rejig.

From Education minister to Textile minister.

Title of Smriti Irani's biography could be "From KYA PADHA To KAPDA".
