UPA ministers have swung into action like never before in a bid to prove equal to the task, reports Pramod Kumar
Dramatic changes are sweeping through the corridors of power. Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s ‘perform or perish’ notice and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s 100-day trial period for his ministerial team has completely altered the ground rules of governance. Not just the ministers, but also the bureaucrats under them who in the last days of the previous UPA government had begun to show signs of lethargy, have wholeheartedly embraced a new style of functioning and a fresh set of work ethics.
Scene One: Since the day Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee took over as the Union Railway Minister, she has been paying cash for every cup of tea that she consumes in her office. She wants no freebies for herself, or for her officials. Besides granting fare concessions to needy rail passengers, she has clamped down on the misuse of saloons by Railway Board members. Under the new dispensation, the railway ministry is on a new trip: officials who once thought nothing of ordering cashew-nuts to go with their cups of tea have now begun to think twice before taking such liberties.
Scene Two: Surface Transport Minister Kamal Nath, who was surprisingly shunted out of the Commerce and Industry Ministry that he held for five years in the first UPA government, wasn’t too happy with the development. But when the PM explained to him the importance of surface transport in the government’s overall development plans, the senior minister swung into action. He invited the former NHAI chairman to tea and then sought a meeting with the Planning Commission deputy chairperson Montek Singh Ahluwalia. Not only did the latter personally arrive in the minister’s office, he even suggested that a separate corporation be set up to ensure that surface transport projects would not hit any roadblocks for want of funds. Scene Three: The new Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has, in a break from norm, decided to part with file-clearing powers, which he has left to his junior ministers, Dinesh Trivedi and Panabaka Lakshmi, with instructions that no file should languish in the ministry for more than a day.
He has also entrusted Panabaka Lakshmi with rural health issues as well as the running of Chandigarh’s prestigious Post Graduate Institute (PGI) of Medical Education and Research. The minister of state from Andhra Pradesh had apparently complained to the PM that she had no work worth the name in her last tenure in the ministry under Ramadoss. Dr Singh assured her that she would have no cause for complaints this time around. She actually doesn’t.
The 100-day ultimatum is unusual – it stems from the Congress’ new-found confidence in the wake of its strong showing in the Lok Sabha polls. Sonia Gandhi has clearly indicated to the UPA ministers that they do not have to submit any progress report to the government. Instead, they must share the success of their initiatives with the public through the media and chalk out their own future.
Senior Congress leader Motilal Vora told TSI that the mandate is for the UPA government to take its unfinished inclusive development agenda forward. It is clear that nobody in the government is taking the task at hand lightly. Ministers are arriving at work by 7 am and so are the ministry officials.
Minister of State for Planning, V Narayanswamy, says his priority would be to ameliorate the hardships faced by farmers, while Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Mukul Wasnik wants to ensure that the fruits of progress reach the lowest rungs of Indian society. It’s an all-new culture. Minister of State for Labour, Harish Rawat told TSI: “The 100-day target has galvanised the ministry. We are absolutely confident of meeting the challenges that lie ahead.”
