Smriti Irani has been subjected to relentless ridicule and criticism (mostly because of her showbiz background) ever since she embarked on a political career.

Barely hours had passed since her appointment as the new human resource development minister, when her detractors (read Congress leader Ajay Maken and academician Madhu Kishwar) took to Twitter to question her credentials for the job.

This whole being-a-Cabinet-minister thing is going to be a cakewalk for me because this is the collective IQ of the people I will be surrounded with in the Parliament.
