It appears that DMK has sent a list of 7 names to the PM to choose from, as the successor to Dayanidhi Maran.
Thank god for the small mercies! The PM can atleast now claim to have chosen, in contrast to the earlier situation.
I raised this question earlier and am bringing it up again now! Is this ministry the property of the DMK that it is to be filled only by the party nominees?
It must be recalled that Vaiko had alleged earlier that MK (DMK’s President and CM of Tamil Nadu) had negotiated the ministerial berths taking into account the performance of MDMK as well but alloted none to that party. The PM did not deny this allegation.
Now that MDMK is out of the UPA, can DMK continue to insist on the number of ministers and the portfolio as well?
PM! Will you exercise your right in choosing your cabinet atelast now, in all fairness and objectivity?
Strands of thought
