    Kiren Rijiju out of law ministry is a blessing. He overstepped his brief. A minister cannot be at loggerheads with constitutional institutions. It proves his incompetence. Hope he will behave in "earth sciences" and not mess up with a new definition of climate change.

    The new ministry is good for nothing , he was with his loose talks every where and in all topics, actually he should not be given any ministerial berth.
