The Karnataka chief minister has decided to hold district-wise development review meeting with the MLAs for implementing budget programmes.
To make the rebel MLAs and ministers fall in the line, the chief minister is using several tactics.
Chief minister BS Yeddyurappa has decided to hold district-wise development review meeting with the MLAs for implementing budget programmes.
With the chief minister playing the development card, even ministers like Ramdas, Govind Karjol, Kageri, Karunakara Reddy, and others who have been identified as rebels, attended the meeting convened by the chief minister.
Out of 27 ministers, only six were absent. Twenty-one ministers were present at the meeting held at the chief minister’s home office ‘Krishna’ to review the implementation of budget programmes.
Rejecting reports of rebellion within the party, Yeddyurappa claimed that those ministers who abstained from the meeting had taken prior permission.
Medical education minister SA Ramdas, who was on his way to Delhi, rushed back from the Bangalore International Airport to attend the meeting.
The three-hour-long meeting focused mainly on developmental activities. The chief minister later instructed the ministers to issue government orders for the implementation of new schemes in their respective ministries.
He also ordered all the ministers to be present in Bangalore for three days in a week — at least two days in their respective districts — and the remaining time in their own constituencies.
The chief minister himself led by example in this regard in inspecting development works by a state-wide tour that will kick-off from March 26. He will be touring eight districts in two teams. One will be headed by the CM himself and the second by chief secretary SV Ranganath, till April 23.
They will tour four districts each. They will also issue directions to speed up new projects announced in the 2011-12 state budget.
After the meeting, chief minister Yeddyurappa said, “I have directed the officials to take up all new programmes before April 15.”
