The Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, has become particular about punctuality in his second term. During his first stint, Dr Reddy never bothered about latecomers in the party or government.However, as soon as he took oath for the second term, he started insisting on punctuality. He surprised his colleagues in the party and ministers by being curt towards late-comers.
The Chief Minister has taken more than 11 ministers to task in the last two weeks for failing to be on time.The ministers, Mr Danam Nagender, Mr Jupalli Krishna Rao and Mr P. Balaraju, have already tasted his wrath. When the 13th Assembly session began, the Chief Minister asked his secretary Mr Prabhakar Reddy to identify latecomers and absentees.
The ministers were baffled when Dr Reddy told them to get out of the Cabinet if they can’t attend the Assembly meetings on time. “Dr Reddy is a disciplined politician. You can never find him wasting time. He wants his ministers to be more disciplined,” said Mr Ponnala Laxmaiah, minister for irrigation.
The Chief Minister is on time for departmental review meeting, official briefings, press conferences or meetings with senior bureaucrats. On Monday, the endowment minister, Mr Gade Venkata Reddy, and his department officials were surprised when Dr Reddy entered the meeting hall on time.
“He is a changed man and is striving for good governance this time. His approach and conviction clearly indicates that he is changing into a statesmen from a popular politician,” observed Mr D. Manikya Vara Prasada Rao, minister for secondary and Inter education.
