| Mufti makes his cabinet colleagues fall in line | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Aug 21: Two days after coordination committee of PDP-BJP failed to reach on the consensus over transfers in administration and police department, Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed played a “masterstroke” on Friday and overhauled the administration. However, no transfers and postings were ordered in the Police department.
Sources told Early Times that Chief Minister took a strong exception to PDP-BJP leaders failing to break the ice over transfers and postings in the administration during the Coordination Committee meeting which was held earlier this week on Tuesday. BJP leaders, according to the sources, during the CC meeting had demanded that be allowed to prepare the list of the officials from Jammu region and PDP should take care of the Kashmir province. However, consensus eluded the CC meeting and leaders failed to finalize the agenda of the cabinet meeting which was held on Wednesday.
Pertinently, the cabinet meeting which was held on Wednesday ended without taking any major decisions. “Soon after the cabinet meeting ended on Wednesday rumours were making rounds that coalition partners lack synergy and the Chief Minister has lost the grip over his cabinet colleagues,” sources added.
They said, Chief Minister took a strong note about his cabinet colleagues not falling in the line, following which he summoned his few close aides and asked them to shuffle the administration. “The BJP as well as the PDP ministers were informed about the cabinet meet on lateThursday evening and they were told not to leak the agenda,” sources added.
They said most ministers were left dumbfounded as they were left with no other choice other than to abide by the order. “Many ministers and leaders of both the parties wanted to post their own officials on the top posts and were making ground for it,” sources said, “Today’s reshuffle in the administration on the instructions of the Chief Minister shattered the plans of many politicians.”
Sources claimed that cabinet meeting got delayed as a few BJP and PDP leaders tried to push their agendas and in the process nothing was moving. “A few leaders tried their best to call the shots and in the process even tried to undermine the authority of the Chief Minister without realizing that Mufti is a veteran and a seasoned politician who has got the vast experience behind him,” sources added.
They claimed that today’s reshuffle is a clear signal to the people at the helm that they should not cross the line and pay attention towards their ministries rather than poking their noses in all the matters which do not fall in their domain.
