After portfolio allocation, the NCP leadership now wants its ministers to get back to governance.
Chalking out a code for ministers on Thursday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar made it mandatory for them to be present at the Mantralaya for a minimum of four days in a week.
‘‘I have told the ministers they should be available in their Mantralaya offices for four days a week. On the remaining days, they can visit their constituencies and at least one district,’’ Pawar said at the party’s state unit meeting.
Prior to this, Pawar had a two-hour closed-door meeting with party ministers at the Sahyadri Guest House at Malabar Hill, imparting tips on effective administration and discussing the party’s strategy.
Over the past five years, there have been complaints about NCP ministers almost never attending office. Pawar announced that he would conduct reviews of each of the 22 ministers.
