P Chidambaram tweeted, " If things go right the credit will go to the PM, if things go wrong the Minister will be the fall guy. That is the price a Minister pays for implicit obedience and unquestioning subservience"
The Congress went on a jibe overdrive today as news of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet reshuffle slowly unfolded. The satisfaction was evident as several ministers handling a clutch of crucial ministries resigned. Amid reports that the reshuffle has been undertaken after Prime Minster Narendra Modi conducted a detailed performance review of the ministers, senior Congress leader and former Union minister P Chidambaram immediately tweeted about an inherent "lesson". The resignations of the Union Health Minister and the MoS Health is a candid confession that the Modi government has utterly failed in managing the pandemic "There is a lesson for ministers in these resignations. If things go right the credit will go to the PM, if things go wrong the Minister will be the fall guy. That is the price a Minister pays for implicit obedience and unquestioning subservience," Mr Chidambaram tweeted. Dr Harsh Vardhan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's health minister who retained his position even in the second term of his government, was among the first to step down today. Mr Chidambaram lost no time in commenting that it was a "confession" about his handling of the Covid pandemic.More Related News
