PANJIM: While reiterating the reshuffle of portfolios of the State Council of Ministers, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Friday clarified that no ministers would be dropped during the reshuffle.
“I will not drop any minister. I will reshuffle the ministries, if some minister finds it difficult to handle the portfolio. Everything would be done only after consultation with respective ministers,” Parrikar told reporters at the sidelines of the annual general function of Goa State Industries Association (GSIA).
Chief Minister said that he has already begun audit of the ministries which will be completed within a month. “The ministers would be given third portfolio, as announced earlier,” he said.
Parrikar said that the state government is in the process of implementing public service guarantee Act, which will penalize the department officials if they delay in providing services to the public. “I will take six months to implement the act but before that I need to understand the difficulties faced by the departments,” he said.
