Tamil Nadu cabinet reshuffled, two dropped
December 10th, 2011 - 12:39 am ICT by IANSChennai, Dec 9 (IANS) In another reshuffle of her cabinet within a month, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalithaa Friday inducted two ministers and dropped two.
According to a statement from Governor K. Rosaiah’s office, the two new ministers and their portfolios are: M.S.M. Anandan, who gets charge of Hindu religious and charitable endowments, and B.Valarmathi, who gets social welfare.
The two ministers who make their exit from the cabinet are: M. Paranjothi, who was Hindu religious and charitable endowments, law, courts and prisons minister, and Selvi Ramajayam, who held social welfare.
Inducted into the cabinet only last month, Paranjothi resigned owing to personal reasons while Ramajayam has been dropped from the council of ministers.
The continuance of Paranjothi in the cabinet became doubtful after the state police registered a cheating case against him Thursday on a complaint by a woman doctor.
He entered the state assembly winning the Tiruchirapalli (West) by-election this October.
The portfolios of Tamil official language and Tamil culture, law, courts and prisons, personnel, and administrative reforms and prevention of corruption held by Paranjothi have now been allotted to C. Ve. Shanmugam, minister for school education, sports and youth welfare.
