Jammu: The ruling National Conference-Congress coalition in Jammu and Kashmir will see major changes in the cabinet soon after the panchayat elections are over by mid-June, a senior Congress leader said Monday.
The government is almost two-and-half years old and there have so far been no changes in the ministry.
“Changes in the cabinet are overdue. Changes would be effected after the panchayat elections are over,” Mohan Prakash, Congress Working Committee member in-charge of the state, told reporters here.
He also hinted that the party would like to have “fresh faces” in the ministry.
Some of the Congress ministers have attracted adverse reactions following corruption allegations.
There is also a vacancy for a Congress minister after Ghulam Mohammad Saroori was removed from the cabinet following a controversy over his daughter’s medical entrance examination last year.
She was alleged to have used a proxy to write her exam.
