#ByeByeSmriti trends: Twitter trolls Irani after Modi drops her from HRD ministry
Mumbai: Smriti Irani had been controversy’s favourite child ever since she was inducted in Prime Minister’s Narendra Modi’s cabinet as the Human Resources and Development Minister (HRD) in 2014. But very few expected the BJP-led government to drop her from the post on Tuesday’s big cabinet reshuffle.
As soon as news came out that Prakash Javadekar would be replacing her as the HRD minister, twitter exploded with users trolling Irani over her exit. She soon became the top trending topic on the social media and #ByeByeSmriti continued to be the top trend on Wednesday too.
Here is how twitter reacted to the news:

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

While many just mocked the Minister who will now be heading the Textiles ministry, some speculated if the BJP has bigger plans for the leader for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh election.

Has Smriti Irani been demoted or is she set to become the face of the BJP campaign in UP? Smrit Irani v Priyanka Vadra?
