Where’s Health Minister Vishwajit Rane? And, have you taken over the Health portfolio?
On Wednesday, The Goan posed these questions to the Chief Minister Pramod Sawat during his visit to the South Goa district hospital. However, he chose to avoid the queries, only saying he is interested in the health and welfare of the people of Goa.
The Chief Minister parried all questions centered on politics and whether there’ was any possibility of a
Cabinet reshuffle.
A day after the CM made his presence felt in the Goa Medical College and Hospital, Bambolim, in a PPE suit, Sawant descended on the South Goa district hospital on Wednesday, only raising questions on his visit sans his Health Minister in tow.
Sawant, however, maintained his calm and composure when the media sought to know the whereabouts of the Health Minister. “Being the Chief Minister of the state, my prime responsibility is to look after the health of the people. I visited the GMCH on Tuesday to personally take stock of the situation,” he said.
The Chief Minister also parried questions over the comments made in certain quarters by the Health Minister, only saying he is not here to react to the comments of others, saying what is important for him is the health of the people. And, the Chief Minister just walked away when the media sought to know whether there’s any Cabinet reshuffle in the pipeline.
