I understand your point here, however the value of a person can not be solely determined by the no. of degrees or kind of degrees he holds. Personal integrity, personal interests, and capacity to look at a bigger picture matter as much as a degree acquired in a classroom.
As an example, consider a CEO of a diversified conglomerate, say GE, GE deals in areas as diverse as consumer finance to aircraft engines. Does the person managing the company needs to be a CA as well as a Aeronautical engineer?
You bring capability to the table, not necessarily degrees.
As far as Smriti Irani is concerned, this ministry has been a steep learning curve for her but comparing her to Rahul Gandhi who probably can't even win a 10th standard debate competition simply reeks of bias.
Also HRD is a tough ministry to hold. Those guys here who can't take criticism in an online forum and either start calling names or rolling on the floor laughing senselessly wouldn't last a week in face of all those attacks. And these are the very ones who accuse her of lacking the mettle to head this ministry. Funny.
BTW i agree with you on Chetan Chauhan point. A better decision could have been made. Someone incompetent is at the helm of affairs.Needs to be sorted out.
