Rajiv ji, Thanks for your referral. As per the media reports this reshuffling is part of pathway for Mr Rahul Gandhi to be a PM of india after 2014 election. 4 Cabinet minister Jitendra Singh, Milind Deora, Rajiv Shukla and Jaynthi Natrajan are near and dear one of Mr. Rahul Gandhi. High command has play a mojor roll in this reshuffling than Manmohan sing.

Wow,  Rajeev ji thanks for this updated information along with political analysis.    The burden of Lok Pal Bill was now put on the shoulders of Salman Khurshid.  Let us see how best he can handle it. I could not digest the way Mr. Gill was shown the exit door.  Is his straight forwardness shown him the exit.  Is there something else for this.  Murli Deora had paved the way for his son. What kind of politics are these? Is this a balancing act? It is better for the Jayaram Ramesh  to talk diplomatically.  His statements are becoming the center of controversies.  By the time I believe he come to know that sometimes, he cant speak what comes to his mind (though he is 100% correct).  Yes, Mr. Kamat's decision is unwise, it seems he shut the doors of his own political career for the time being. 

Murali Ji, I just saw you had already done what I was telling you. Thanks.

@Munshiji,
Thanks for your comments and describing me as "a BJP worker". I have often been described as "a Congress worker", "a Communist worker", "a SP worker" and so on. Such comments like yours help me in reminding me that I am keeping my objectivity and independence intact and I am a no-party's man and I keep my own counsel.
@Murali Ji,
Sir, your comments are a value addition to my brief article. I will once again suggest to you to keep on commenting on The Diplomat site as well. All you have to do is to copy and cut your comments on toostep and paste it on The Diplomat site. That way you don't lose any time. 
@Rohit Bhai,
Your appreciation of my work is unabating. Pl take a cue from Munshi Ji.
Thanks to all for their comments.

Rajeevji,
Your analysis of the cabinet reshuffle looks like it has been written by a BJP party worker. 
1). You are saying "Gandhi family loyalist Salman Khurshid,...". Aren't others in the cabinet also a Gandhi family loyalist?

2).You have termed Jairam Ramesh as "obstructionist’ environment minister". Should we clean up all our forest, trees and our environment in the name of development? If all the projects that were pending before the environment ministry were blindly cleared then you would have wrote that "he was destroying india". Either way he is in trouble.

3).By keeping the railway ministry with TC, I am not sure how can Mamata can feel 'secure'.

Rajeev ji, thanks for the quick update on the political scenario.  This shuffle is a jig-saw puzzle!  I think, this shuffle will do more harm than good for the reason that some of the cabinet ministers (inter-changed) are already fuming, that will have a bearing on their performance, if unchecked now!  Irresponsible Mukul Roy, thank God, is not offered the Cabinet Minister's portfolio of Railways!  Murli Deora had to pave way for his son, as he had resigned even before the re-shuffle.  Unfortunately, the largest spending Ministry, next to Defence, the Ministry of Rural Development, has already seen two ministers in a couple of years, now its the turn of Jairam Ramesh.  This Ministry has already rolled out a number of schemes (expr. Rs.40,000 cr) and he will be used as a face-lift minister to nurture the pet-project of Rahul Gandhi, NREGA.  
Salman Khursheed has a onerous responsibility to persuade SG and also consolidate various controversial bills, including JanLokPal Bill, relating to reforms to be tabled in the Parliament in monsoon session!  

Thanks for the update faster than "AAJTAK" with some detailed reasons!!thanks for sharing Mr. Sharma.
