Now Irani is one of the most vocal ministers on Twitter, often turning up on television debates as well and her move evoked quite a reaction. Here’s how Twitter reacted to her being moved from the HRD Ministry to Textiles:

Smriti Irani takes over Textile ministry, It's like Sequel of Guru movie!

Moving Irani out of HRD & RS Prasad from telecom are truly robust & meritocratic decisions. Welcome evidence @narendramodi means business

Smriti Irani is no more minister for education. This might be the closest we'll get to Acche Din

PM Modi still acts way beyond pundits' predictions. Exactly why one shouldn't write off Smriti Irani. You can't predict where she is headed

— Abhijit Majumder (@abhijitmajumder) July 5, 2016

Sad part about removing Smriti Irani is that no one trolls the textile minister. Going to miss her Twitter repartee.

Modi, you genius!

From Education minister to Textile minister.

Title of Smriti Irani's biography could be "From KYA PADHA To KAPDA".

Though no lesser profile of Textile , but I would express my disappointment with @narendramodi for letting @smritiirani leave the change

— Kolahoi (@PawanDurani) July 5, 2016

In Hindsight, Smriti Irani shouldn't have said 'Judge me by my Work'. Her boss just did

— Joy (@Joydas) July 5, 2016

Only difference between Prakash Javadekar and Smirti Irani is, former has 'Java' in his surname, he may work better in Digital India

Shock!! Javadekar not suited .. very poor communicator in crucial ministry https://t.co/Rdq3JFBvBJ

Biggest winner: Prakash Javadekar
Biggest loser: Smriti Irani.
Man who may be edgy: Arun Jaitley
