Former minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy and Faggan Singh Kulaste are
among some of the MPs who are furious with the style of the functioning of the
PMO since they have been ejected as the Minister for Skill Development and
Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, respectively. After the
tantrum by Uma Bharati, both Rudy and Kulaste were quite agitated when they
were asked to resign from the ministership. Both have the grudge that they have
never been given an opportunity to explain their achievements before the Prime
Minister. Sources close to Rudy informed that he has been seeking an
appointment to meet the Prime Minister for past eight months, but the PMO did
not give him any time. Even during the appraisal of his ministry, the PMO used
to call the secretary of the ministry. Sources, however, informed that
inefficiency was not the only reason for Rudy’s ouster. His honesty and
integrity as a minister was allegedly in doubt. It is learnt that in the
corridors of the ministry, it was known that people who have work with the
ministry had to go to a jeweller’s shop in South Delhi before meeting the
minister. This was brought to the notice of RSS stalwarts and Rudy was shown
the door. Kulaste, however, became a victim of fellow state politicians who are
more settled and aggressive in Delhi.
