Despite her seniority and experience as a politician and administrator, Sushma Swaraj is arguably the least empowered External Affairs Minister since Bali Ram Bhagat headed the MEA way back in the 1980s. While the weight of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) in foreign policy decision-making has steadily increased since Atal Bihari Vajpayee's days, never before has the Foreign Minister been so marginalized. Her confidence shaken, she has given no interviews as External Affairs Minister and agreed only to very limited interaction with Delhi's legion of diplomatic correspondents. When a reporter asked her for a soundbite soon after a Pakistani court granted bail to Lashkar terrorist Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi, Sushma baulked, saying the Prime Minister would react first.

Like I said yesterday, Indians probably don't even remember that external affairs portfolio exists with PM's overarching attitude. Sushma Swaraj probably aware was of this from the get go, If I recall this correctly, she wanted a different portfolio.

...and this in comparison to the no role by PMO or South Block, North Block or Street Block during the Cong(i) rule all those 50 years.

On the contraire, Sushma is doing plenty to mocernise MEA.She established a full-fledged Hindi Division in the Ministry of External Affairs under a joint-secretary level IFS officer. Joint-Secretary is the 2nd highest IFS post.
