Sena's Geete proves stumbling block
September 11, 2014  15:06
The Prime Minister's Office is believed to be unhappy with Union Minister Anant Geete over the slow progress in the implementation of projects in the first 100 days of the Modi government.

No interest has been shown by the Shiv Sena minister on simple issues like, say, the mega celebrations of 50 years of Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited which falls on November 13, 2014.

The PMO is keen that the prime minister inaugurates BHEL's golden jubilee celebrations with President Pranab Mukherjee as chief guest.

But given the approaching Maharashtra assembly election and the tumultuous ties between the BJP and Shiv Sena there, Geete has shown no enthusiasm for plans like the issuance of a special postal stamp, or release of Rs 5 coins to commemorate the golden jubilee. Obviously the Shiv Sena's mindset seems to be different.
