Bangalore, Jan 01: Karnataka Chief Minister S M
Krishna today dropped hints that he might go in for
restructuring of his three-year-old ministry to "sharpen the
governance to meet people's aspirations".
"The people will guage a government how fast and
meaningfully it works. The ministry reconstitution is a
continuous exercise" he said declaring that initiatives to
fine tune the administration will begin shortly.
In a chat with reporters here, Krishna, when specifically
asked whether he was signaling that the ministry
restructuring exericse is on the cards, evaded a direct
response saying, "I don't hold the crystal ball. Your guess is
as well as mine".
However, he quickly added "very soon a new PCC president
will be appointed to the state congress unit. The time is ripe
for this, I feel".
AICC general secretary Vayalar Ravi, in charge of
Karnataka affairs, has already announced that a new PCC
president to replace the present incumbent, Allum
Veerabhadrappa would be appointed by second week of this
month.
Krishna said he would also take up review of performance
of various departments, but refused to brand the exercise as
an "examination or test" to assess the capabilities of any
minister. He said all his ministerial colleagues were capable
of delivering goods.
Krishna said the days ahead were tough and there could be
no soft options for the government warranting tough decisions.
