Raman warns ministers and officers to change working style

Raipur, Dec 13 (UNI) Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, who has completed three-years in office recently, has warned ministers and officers to change their working style and ensure that benefits reach to the last man.

Facing allegations of laxity in the style of government functioning, Dr Singh told UNI that he had given complete freedom to work in the past three years.

''However, now action will also be taken besides fixing up responsibility,'' he said.

Pointing out that the remaining two years of rule ahead was challenging, he said the government would ensure that programmes and schemes were fully implemented and the whole budget amount was spent.

Dr Singh said he was the only Chief Minister in the BJP-ruled state who had completed three years in office sans controversy.

BJP Chief Ministers in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan were either removed or were mired in some controversy he added.
