    Khadar as Kolar DIC Minister ? Why a District so far away ? I think Siddu forgot that Kodagu is nearby.

    DISTRICT IN CHARGE MINISTRY IS THE LICENCE GIVEN TO LOOT THE DISTRICT AND NO OTHER HAS THE AUTHORITY TO INTERVENE IN THIER AFFAIRS.
    THE LAUGH THEY GIVE SAYS CLEARLY WHAT THE DISTRICT IN CHARGE MEANT.
    THERE IS NO INSTANCES OF DISTRICT IN CHARGE MINISTERS CONCERNED ABOUT PROBLEMS OF THE PEOPLE IRRESPECTIVE OF PARTY TO WHICH THEY BELONGS TO. FOR VOTERS THE DAY START WITH THE PROBLEM AND END WITH THE PROBLEM. FOR MINISTERS IT IS WITH DRINKS & EATRIES.

    As it is from the past,is that means the Ministers will be busy in cutting ribbons and attend foundation stone laying and inauguration functions.... Then how they will be able to carry the Ministry works? I suppose it would be better for other elected non-ministerial MLA to get this InCHARGE duty.....

    This district in charge minister concept is in for quite some time now. However how much it is successful or useful is a debatable matter. In my opinion it is better to allow all the ministers to be dedicated to the ministers they handle their individual constituencies. district in charge responsibility can be entrusted to senior/experienced MLA of that district(excluding the ministers from that district)

    Allocation of in - charge responsibilities to the Ministers does not look LOGICAL. Instead of overburdening the Ministers, let other MLA's do their duties.

    The in charge ministers should visit all govt offices and take a stock of pending files. OR else the public should be given a chance to lodge a complaint with them if their files are pending more than one month and this should be taken seriously by the ministers. If this exercise is undertaken, then every one knows where we stand and it will be a case like DOOD KA DOOD, PANI KA PANI.

    INSTEAD OF GIVING DISTRICT INCHAGRE TO THE MINISTERS,IT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO OTHER MLAS.THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WORKED AND DEVELOPED THE DISTRICTS.ANYWAY MINISTERS ARE BUSSY WITH THEIR PORTFOLIOS,NOW WHY EXTRA BUDREN ON THEM..?

    First of all why make existing ministers incharge of the district while they have to manage the entire state. Does this means our local MLA's jobless or less job?

    Why there is change in IN-CHARGE Ministers all of sudden?IN-CHARGE Ministers are CONSTITUTIONAL?Mr Khader and A.Jain has three assignments 1)As an MLA in own constituency 2)As an Minister for entire state and as an In charge Minister!!Now these tasks for one individual could do justice to citizens? A million dollar question.On the other hand now a days In- charge Ministers are just confining their respective Districts.A debate about in charge- Ministry creation is over due.

    ISMAIL.K.PERINJE, PERINJE-YANBU/KSA, the concept of IN-CHARGE Ministers is not new. If I am not wrong this was started by Ramakrishna Hegde. To control the power of ministers & tide their leadership to district level only, he made this arrangement!!!!!.
