At Last Cabinet Reshuffle in Kerala Said Chandy

19 July 2013

New Delhi

Amid political crisis in Kerala over solar panel scam, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy today said there will be a Cabinet reshuffle very soon in the state as he tried to reach out to Hindu caste organisations which are up in arms against his government.

“The Congress High Command will take a decision on Cabinet reshuffle very soon,” he said while inviting Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ramesh Chennithala in the Cabinet. “I am the happiest man for that,” he told reporters when asked about Mr Chennithala’s entry into Cabinet.

Asked about the Hindu caste organisations’ reservations against his government dominated by members from minority Christian and Muslim communities, Mr Chandy said he and his party enjoy good relations with the Nair Service Society, a caste outfit of upper caste Nairs, and he was ready to discuss the issues with them and “remove all the suspicious situations”.

Mr Chandy asserted that his government will continue its full term but refused to say whether he will be at the helm of the party.
