Smriti Irani takes charge as textile ministry at Udyog Bhawan in india

Prime Minister Narendra Modis decision to shift Smriti Irani from human resource development to the textiles ministry was widely perceived as a demotion, given that the education sector is more high-profile.
But the firebrand Irani may yet be able to find her way back to the spotlight. Her first opportunity will be on the political stage, as a campaigner in the assembly elections early next year.
