Terming the latest Cabinet reshuffles as cosmetic change, BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu today said that it is like wearing make-up before pack up. "It is only a make-up before pack up. This government is going. Whenever elections are held, the Congress will be routed," he said. 

"It is now clear that the Congress is insensitive to criticism and no respect for probity in public life. In spite of serious charges against the ministers, some of them are retained and some are even promoted. This will not serve any purpose," he added. 

He said the government had decided to retain some ministers despite charges against them.  "Now, in order to cover up and divert the attention of the people from its failures, it has taken up cabinet reshuffle. It has failed to give any message," Naidu added. 

The government announced a major cabinet reshuffle on Sunday, where 22 ministers, including ministers of states, were sworn in.
