According to the situation that you have mentioned, let me brief you about Article 75 of the Indian Constitution. Article 75 talks about the Prime Minister. It mentions that there would be a Prime Minister of the country who would be appointed by the President and chosen by the people of India through General Elections. It provides the powers and duties of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has the power to reshuffle their cabinet.

The time will tell whether the step taken by the government was beneficial.
