Gurudas Kamat resigns

July 12, 2011 19:21

Gurudas Kamat has resigned from the Union Cabinet, apparently over not being made a Cabinet minister in Tuesday's reshuffle.

Kamat, who is MoS in the Ministries of Home and Communication and IT, was made Minister of State with Independent Charge and given a new portfolio of Drinking Water and Sanitation.

Kamat, who did not attend the swearing-in ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, had been warned earlier by the Congress high command that he would lose his ministership if he skipped the swearing-in ceremony
