Union cabinet rejig, expansion - DVS to lose railways portfolio?


Daijiworld Media Network – New Delhi (SP)

New Delhi, Nov 7: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi met President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday November 6, speculations are flying thick and thin over the possible permutations and combinations in connection with reshuffle and expansion of the union ministry on Sunday November 9.

Goa chief minister, Manohar Parrikar, has already given his nod for the proposal to join the central cabinet. There are bright chances of him being made the defence minister. At present, Arun Jaitley has been holding charge of this ministry in addition to finance. Parrikar, who had visited New Delhi on Thursday, returned after meeting Modi and BJP national president, Amit Shah. On his return to Panaji, he confirmed that he has been asked to be prepared to shoulder prime responsibility at the centre.

It is widely perceived that D V Sadananda Gowda, railway minister, has failed to live up to the expectation of bringing fast-paced changes in his ministry, and it is said that Modi himself is not too happy with his performance. If sources in BJP are to be trusted upon, DVS may be given a less important portfolio. There is every chance of Nitin Gadkari being given the railway ministry, it is learnt. Gadkari presently holds the ministry of national highways and rural development. Rural development ministry may be entrusted to some other minister. Gadkari may be given highways, shipping, and railways departments.

Sources added that the Prime Minister is not satisfied with the performances of ministers, Radha Mohan (agriculture) and Sripad Naik (tourism). Both are expected to lose their posts.

    Modi who is holding the religious portfolio. Need a good leader to treat everyone with respect rather hatred because religion is very much integrated in your leadership role and sided for only certain people and voided to many which is called failed leader like Yeddi who lost his chaddi soon

    why modi ji, i think Mr. DVS is too honest so not fit as a railway minister. a 10 pass can continue as a HRD minister but the hero of karnataka who never had a dark spot in his political career, never spoke anything wrong against other communities and never done a wrong deed is not fit to be a minister. i am 100% sure in his 5 years tenure as a railway minister DVS would have done so many good things for karnataka state especially for mangalore and udupi dist

    Though DVS is very good as a person but I had a doubt from day one since soft person like DVS can’t handle the Ministry like Railways where changes can’t be brought with soft heart and broad smile. After Defence, Railways are always in top ten lists for corruption.

    Mr. Modi's over expectation from the Ministers, and most of them having the least experience or no experience in their assigned portfolios will be sending disappointing signals thus more shifting back and forth would be sending shock waves to the Ministers who are already infected with panic attack.

    It's good if Sadananda Gowda loses his Post. After he became the Railway minister the train timings of Bangalore - Karwar ( Kannur)are revised. Earlier Train has to leave from Yashwanthpur at 8:35 PM(Bangalore City at 9:00PM) and reaches to Mangalore at 8:30 AM. Presently the starting Point is Bangalore City and departure time is 8:00PM and reaches Mangalore city at 8:20AM. The main agenda behind this is to help Bus owners. (Bus lobby). By preponing one hour without any reason what Sadananda Gowda will achive ??.Why the train has to stop for 50minutes at Mysore. Return journey also same technic is used. Train will reach at 8:30 AM (Earlier 7:30AM) to Bangalore.
    Indirectly Sadananda Gowda made Dakshina Kannada people to travel by Bus & spend more for travel.
    During Weekends/Festival Seasons Private Bus rate is Rs. 1000 (Normal rate Rs.450-500). If 4members in a Family has to travel they have to spend Rs.4000 (Train fare for 4members is Rs.1200). Making people poor He became richer within 8 Months.!!. Let Narendra Modi Clean this $#it.

But in congress Pardesi is still holding Party president and her less IQ son is holding vice president post as if it is their ancestors propertY. Shame on these two as they do not have any morality. It si time for the congress to kick these two "non-performers' and install some other better candidates like Jyothradithya Sindhia or Sachin Pilot and save the party from burrial.!!

    It is welcome news that the Prime Minister keeps reviewing the performances of the ministers and is contemplating replacing those who have not lived up to their expectations. Yes, I agree that Sadananda Gowda has failed as the Railways Minister. In additon to his personal problems involving his son, there were also allegations that his assets have grown multi-fold since he took over as the Railway Minister. A replacement of the ministers who have not had a good track record is always welcome but the likely appointment of Nitin Gadkari as Gowda's replacement hardly inspires confidence.

    But he doesn't have lobby behind him to get the things done.
    This is the era of lobby.
