Victor, Siddaramaiah is the last man to cut the government size. Our state government has fifty departments. Would there be a CM who can reduce them to a dozen? For example, education has three: Higher education, primary secondary education and medical education! One education department would be enough. At a later stage, education can be clubbed with youth affairs, sports, etc under a single ministry as HRD. Similarly, a single ministry would be enough for ALL transportation infrastructure like ports, roads, waterways, inland transport, etc. Same goes for minor, medium, major irrigation, water resources, etc are one ministry as water resource management. If this trend of optimization is taken to logical conclusion, only 8 ministers are needed. Each minister can have 3 ministers of state under his control to assist with sub-departments. the CM should not hold any direct portfolio. He should be an exclusive coordinating boss, THE leader. BJP, Congress or JDS, the admin reforms will have to wait for eternity! | |

Can some one tell me how many cabinet ministers are there and how many ministers of state and who are they? Why two ministers for medical education? Is there a need to control the existing medical colleges and streamline the new ones? |
