The
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister will hereafter
handle additional portfolio of PWD
which was taken away from the senior
minister Durai Murugan on Sunday.
This was informed by a Raj Bhavan
official report. However, the minister
will retain his law portfolio.
The report stated that the chief minister
will here after handle subjects of
public works, irrigation including
minor irrigation and program works
which was earlier held by Durai Murugan.
Though there is no clear indication
as to what caused the removal of Durai
Murugan, some highly placed source
link it with two projects in Cuddalore
district.
Durai Murugan is fifth in the DMK
hierarchy and is the deputy general
secretary of DMK.
Does this mean that the minister is
pushed out of the good books of the
Chief Minister? Let’s wait and
watch.
