Ahead of Govt formation, all eyes on allocation of portfolios | | | Ishtiyaq Ahmad Early times Report srinagar, Mar 25: With PDP-BJP all set to form Government in Jammu and Kashmir, all eyes are on allocation of portfolios in Mehbooba Mufti led Cabinet in the State. A massive reshuffle is being anticipated in the Cabinet as some legislators from both the parties are trying to get included in the Cabinet. Most of the Ministers in Mufti Mohammad Sayeed-led-Cabinet were new to the legislature and it was a testing time for the novices to prove their mettle in governing the State. However, many of them had not performed well in 10 month rule of the PDP-BJP Government. Now dissent is brewing against some former Ministers to drop them from the Cabinet or not give them prime portfolios. "Yes there are demands that new faces should be included in the next Cabinet but no decision has been taken over it so far," a senior PDP leader said after attending the party legislative meeting at Fairview Residence of Mehbooba Mufti in Srinagar. On Thursday, Mehbooba was nominated as legislative party leader thus paving way for Government formation in the State between the PDP and BJP. "PDP and BJP will hold similar portfolios which they had in Mufti led Government, but there would be changes in allocation of portfolios internally," A PDP leader said. Similarly in BJP, sources said the party leaders and workers have been demanding change in portfolios. "There will be some changes in allocation of portfolios once the Government is formed in the State," a BJP insider said. Sources said some former Ministers, who were holding multiple portfolios, may be cut to size and will be given charge of only one department and Mehbooba Mufti like her father will hold charges of various departments. In the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed Cabinet, except Abdul Rehman Veeri, Javid Mustafa Mir and Chowdhary Lal Singh, rest were new to the council of Ministers. |
