Bangalore: Single post policy - 16 ministers instructed to relinquish party posts


Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (SP)

Bangalore, Sep 15: It is learnt that All India Congress Committee (AICC), in strict enforcement of its 'one man -one post' policy, has instructed 16 ministers in the state who hold organizational posts in the party, to let go of their positions in the party. Under instructions from AICC, its general secretary, Janardan Dwivedi, issued strict instructions in this regard.

The order addressed to Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president, Dr G Parameshwar, and chief minister, Siddaramaiah, has instructed both of them to strictly follow the above policy. Towards strict compliance with this policy, those who are enjoying government and party posts have been asked to choose to retain any one of them. It has been clarified that barring special cases, no one in the party can have two posts, one in government, the other in the organizational set up.

Therefore, excise minister, Sathish Jarkhiholi, minister for agriculture, Krishnabyre Gowda, women and child welfare minister, Umashree, transport minister, Ramalinga Reddy, and PWD minister, Dr H C Mahadevappa, will have to resign from the posts of the KPCC general secretary forthwith. Likewise, forest minister, Ramanath Rai (Dakshina Kannada district Congress Committee president), housing minister, Ambarish and information minister, Roshan Baig (KPCC vice presidents), food minister Dinesh Gundu Rao (Bangalore congress committee president), medical education minister, Dr Sharana Prakash Patil (Gulbarga DCC president), and health minister, U T Khadar (KPCC secretary), will be compelled to leave their party posts.

Horticulture minister, Shamanur Shivashankarappa, home minister, K J George, social welfare minister, H Anjaneya, minister for cooperation, Mahadev Prasad, state government's special representative in New Delhi, C S Nadagouda, who are office bearers of KPCC, also will have to resign from the party posts.

AICC vice president, Rahul Gandhi, had wanted strict compliance with the above rule last year itself. Although a couple of ministers including U T Khadar had resigned then, they continued in party posts as their replacements were not posted. The other ministers had not taken the instruction seriously enough.

With a number of party positions in state Congress falling vacant soon, a number of people waiting in the wings since long have been aspiring to bag these posts. At the same time, the opportunity for revamping of KPCC, which has been in limbo since sometime, will be available for the party top brass.

    Last 65 years
    They Forgotten ??
    Thats why rich became richer day by day, poor remain as poor only.
    Most of the ministers and politicians children studied and studies in foreign universities with all modern hi-tech facilities,
    they why should they worry or think of ordinary people unless they sink.

    Let him start, Let the Politicians work sincerely instead of holding one or more posts and enjoy picnics.
    This should be an example to MODI to honor and implement the SC order to clean the CRIMINAL POLITICIANS.

    These 'Party Posts' were nothing
    short of a 'Postman's Post'.
    That's the reason why Congress lost heavily in the last elections.

    KR Prabhu from Bangalore...Mr.Janardhan Poojary's name dosent look good from your mouth because you are the one who have supported many greats like: Yeddy, Reddy's, Sriramulu, Hallapa, Shobha akka, Katta Naidu, Renukacharya, DVS etc etc.
    BTW I had asked for a comment for Reversing Property Tax issue from you, Where were you hiding Mr.Prabhu??

    Since many opportunist politicians are leaving Congree to jump the other side of the fence, they are creating openings for more people.
    If there are still more aspirants left then they can add more designations like Senior VP, Assistant VP, Deputy VP, Deputy secretary, Joint secretary and so on.

    This is the good idea to stop over burdening and giving scope to as many good new faces in running the government and building the party image.
