Union Minister in the dock?

Lutyens’ Delhi is abuzz with rumours that a Union Minister of State was recently pulled up by the Prime Minister. The cause of the PM’s ire, say sources, was not the minister himself but the extra-consitutional role of his wife in his ministry and the PSUs associated with his portfolio. This is not the first time the minister has been pulled up because of his spouse. It is believed that the PM wanted to send a message to the rest of his team by taking a hard line against the erring minister. Of course, these are just whispers in the corridors of power, but as far as the PMO is concerned, these should echo right down the entire Council of Ministers.
