Congress MLAs want 'non-performers' out of Cabinet

Published On : 31 Mar 2016


Bengaluru, DHNS: More than 20 ruling party legislators, who are aspiring to be ministers, held a meeting on Wednesday and decided to mount pressure on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to drop “non-performing” ministers and give opportunity to young leaders.

The legislators discussed about problems being faced by them in getting their works done in certain departments of the government as far as the development of their constituencies was concerned. Many of the legislators who attended the meeting were the staunch followers of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, sources in the ruling party said.

Byrati Basavaraj (KR Puram), S T Somashekar (Yeshwantpur), R V Devaraj (Chickpet), Krishnappa (Vijayanagar), Priya Krishna (Govindarajnagar), B M T Nagaraj (Hoskote), K N Rajanna (Madhugiri) and D Sudhakar (Hiriyur) were among the Congress legislators who attended the meeting held at a private club. The sources said the meeting was held on the behest of Siddaramaiah.

The sources said the legislators discussed about the possibility of meeting the party high command in Delhi in the coming days to complain about some non-performing ministers. They want to urge the party to drop over 25 ministers who are not performing up to the expectations and give an opportunity to young and enthusiastic legislators.

The sources said the legislators want the chief minister to reshuffle the council of ministers at the earliest. They fear that the party may not show the green signal for the reshuffle till the elections to five states are over. But they did not, however, finalise any plan on meeting the high command.
