If I were to become Prime minister with such a decisive mandate, I would allot the following key economic ministries to the most deserving candidates.
Ministry of Finance - Arun Shourie: He has had exposure to various financial departments during his stints at World Bank, Planning Commission, and as Disinvestment Minister in the Vajpayee government. In the Vajpayee government he was not successful in implementing all his ideas due to coalition politics. However, given a chance this time he would certainly strengthen the financial status of India.
Ministry of Commerce and Industry & Ministry of Corporate Affairs: Subramanian Swamy: He is an eminent economist and former professor at Harvard and IIT-D. He has headed similar portfolios earlier during the Chandrashekhar government. He has both the ability and experience to shape the economic scenario of India to take up current and future challenges.
