Ministers may be changed every six months based on their performance: Dy CM

Bengaluru, Jun 8: The Congress would evaluate performance of its ministers every six months and changes would be made if required, said Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara as he tried to pacify MLAs unhappy over not making it to the ministry.

"Every six months there will be an assessment by the party to evaluate the performance of ministers, and ministers will be changed depending upon their performance, and according to the decisions of the party, whenever it is needed," Parameshwara, also the Pradesh Congress Committee chief, he told reporters here today.

"I'm not saying this; these are conditions that are mentioned by All India Congress party while approving the list (of ministers)," he added.

Kumaraswamy had yesterday expanded his 15-day old cabinet, by inducting 25 ministers, with 14 members from the Congress and nine from his party, JDS and one each from BSP and the nascent Karnataka Pragnavanta Janata Paksha.

Upset over not securing berths in the expanded ministry, several Congress legislators today held separate meetings in the city.

Noting there was still opportunity for legislators, Parameshwara said, "we will have to fill six vacant minister posts."

"We will do it, and probably in the days to come based on the performance decisions will be made," he added.

The Deputy Chief Minister also said that at the earliest, the posts in boards and corporations would be filled, in accordance with the formula agreed upon between the coalition partners.

Alleging that BJP has plans to attract disgruntled MLAs, the KPCC chief said he would talk to them and try to convince them about the party's decision.

These people copying from PM Modi. Modiji did cabinet reshuffle based on their performance many times. And undoubtedly we can say Modiji is our best ever PM
