New minister soon?

It's been close to three months since Andimuthu Raja took over as communications and information technology minister. He has managed to raise hell over BSNL's 65 million-line tender. Now the 23 million line tender is almost through.

But, the big question that is doing the rounds of both Sanchar Bhawan and Electronics Niketan is whether he will complete three months?

That's because if one goes by the whispers that are doing the rounds of the ministry, Raja could make way soon. After all, everyone knows that Chennai decides who the communications minister and not the Prime Minister.

While no one is willing to put a date for the changeover, what is reliably known is that soon India will have its first woman communications minister. After all, with a woman President and a woman chairperson of the National Advisory Council, why not have a woman communications minister.

One only hopes that her communication skills are better than Raja.
