I am a BJP supporter but next time I am voting NOTA.
MHA of course has cadre control of IPS and therefore operational influence at CBI and IB. It also controls NIA.
MCA should matter as well since it has SFIO under it although its prowess is anybody's guess.
Why in all these years no govt (irrespective of political colour) has ever brought in a specific legislation for CBI, IB and RAW. Maybe the swirly alphabet soup of agencies is actually favourable to all.
Finance --- crucial for economic growth
Commerce --- has a say in FTAs and legal sector liberalisation, plus stance on trade and IPRs affects certain law firms
IT --- work for certain law firms
Home --- CBI probes naturally mean more work for Senior Advocates, but will the CBI follow through with its enquiry into a certain MP, which has entangled a tier 1 firm? That's the million dollar question
Education--- Certain university reforms affect law schools
Infra ministries (Rail, Road, Aviation etc) --- For some law firms, these are the most important ministries. If certain tenders are handed to certain business houses, their law firms get a piece of the pie too. Some of these tenders are worth thousands of crores.
