#ModiCabinet | @smritiirani's been shunted out of HRD ministry. Here's 13 ways in which Twitter responded

Smriti Irani\'s shunting out from the heavyweight HRD ministry to the low-profile textiles ministry was definitely the biggest highlight of the reshuffle in Prime Minister Narendra Modi\'s cabinet. Many media reports have given different explanations for the move, from a possible bigger role in Uttar Pradesh to a cut down to size. Whatever the reason, Irani has once again created huge buzz, especially on social media.
