In West Minister model of Parliament...Dear Editor,<br /><br />In West Minister model of Parliamentary Democracy followed in this country, the Minister is appointed by the President on the advice of Prime Minister. The Minister in the Council of Minister is individually answerable to the Prime Minister and the Council of Minister is collectively answerable to the Parliament. The council of Minister runs the government till its party or coalition enjoys the confidence of the Lower House of the Parliament. Further, the Minister is an Executive Head of his Ministry. The structure of bureaucracy is subordinate to the Minister and assists him in discharging his lawful functions. <br /><br />Bureaucrats, in no way can sit as judges to evaluate the performance of a Minister. How a subordinate would judge the performance of his boss and even if it does, it would not be an objective assessment?. The Prime Minister is treading a wrong path by pursuing the idea of judging the performance of his Minister through the Bureaucrats. The Prime Minister can himself have sessions without any bureaucrat with his colleagues to know the information first hand. <br /><br />Why the Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna, Defence Minister A.K. Antony and Home Minister P. Chidambaram kept out of this assessment?. Will Pranab Mukherjee and Sharad Pawar resign on the inability of this government to control the rise in prices?. Personal immaculateness is alright, but when as Minister heads a Ministry, one has to ensure such levels of purity in the administration under him. The Defense Ministry is most corrupt organization. Why A.K. Antony was left out of monitoring? The media of this country was up in arm against Mr. Shivraj Patil former Home Minister, will the same media would ask Chidambaram to resign after Pune blasts. <br /><br />I feel that Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, Road Transport Minister Kamal Nath, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni and Minister of State for Environment Jairam Ramesh are right in their criticism of the move of their evaluation by the bureaucrats.<br /> <br /> This move could boomerang on the Prime Minister who holds slippery ground due to his lack being an unquestioned leader of his own party. This may also ricochet on some of the top bureaucrats including the present Cabinet Secretary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
