So is there any hope this time that Modi will appoint someone to the post with some merit and top-level experience? For example, Pinky Anand, Mahesh Jethmalani or Vikramjit Banerjee? Or will it be the same pool of jokers he will look towards? One name doing the rounds is Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay, who has got an easy Lok Sabha seat and is expected to win. But he is unlikely to enact any reforms and will merely use the Law Ministry to expedite corruption cases against the TMC.
Jab tak soyi hui janta rahegi tab tak modi pm rahega! Or after ram mandir inauguration, he has become more strong!
So JAG needn't necessarily become the next LM. Another reason will be that many in the SC wouldn't want a "junior" to be the LM. There is a chance he may become a deputy to HM or some such ministry, which can be used to shower largesse/armstrong the WB govt.
