Will Minister Ramesh Chennithala help bring order to Government?

Chennithala will be sworn in likely as Home Minister on Thursday (January 2), to replace Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan in a politically significant move.

Thiruvananthapuram, Dec. 31:

Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee President Ramesh Chennithala will be inducted into the Cabinet in a hurried reshuffle of Cabinet just ahead of a crucial Assembly session and in good time for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Chennithala will be sworn in likely as Home Minister on Thursday ( January 2), to replace Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan in a politically significant move.

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy chose to give in to the diktat from the High Command with a view to restoring order in the faction-ridden Congress politics, sources said.

Chennithalas induction had become the hottest topic after warring factions had lined up for and against it over the last several months.

A series of scams, protest rallies, media sting operation, adverse court references and police action merely helped to incite political passions and colour discourses.

Chief Minister Chandy and his office have been right in the midst of the so-called solar scam that saw his personal staff either resigning on their own or being asked to leave.

This had only encouraged the political Opposition led by the CPI (M) to up the ante and launch a high-voltage campaign for his resignation.

But what must have hurt him more have been the covert and overt attempts by disgruntled elements in the ruling coalition to connive with rival Congress faction and discredit him.
