Panaji: In a direct snub to Minister for Waste Management Michael Lobo, Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant said the decision on Cabinet reshuffle is not decided by the ministers but by the party.
On Tuesday, Lobo had claimed there would be cabinet reshuffle in the State post Zilla Parishad elections.
He had also hinted that Tourism Minister Babu Azgaonkar would be dropped due to inefficiency.
Speaking to reporters here, Sawant said that there has been no discussion on Cabinet reshuffle.
”The Minister (Lobo) has not discussed anything with me on Cabinet reshuffle. Also, there is no plan of any such reshuffle,” he said.
Further, he said, “in any case the reshuffle is decided by the party and not the ministers.”
