Reshuffle of ministers in AIADMK government

AIADMK party came to power in 2011 under the leadership of Ms J.Jayalalitha. The cabinet has been reshuffled several times so far by dropping 12 ministers. A number of senior and loyal leaders have been shown the door. It appears that they have either committed mistakes or lost the confidence of the chief minister who happens to be the supreme leader of the party.

Nobody can question the wisdom and authority of the CM to induct anybody or drop anyone from the ministry. But the way and the speed with which it is happening these days one tends to believe that the ministers are appointed on superficial grounds without assessing their actual background or they appear to be careless in their conduct leading to their ouster by the CM. It reflects the crop of leaders and their quality in Tamil Nadu politics at present. It is an unfortunate development depicting the absence of strong leadership in those departments held by such birds of passage. Where is the time for original and long-term thinking enabling the growth and development of the state?
