Meanwhile, Mr. Singh has left for Delhi to consult with senior BJP leaders. Sources said Mr. Jayentakumar had resented “too much of interference” by the Chief Minister. The CM appointed a new Advocate-General from outside the State without consulting Mr. Jayentakumar, who holds the Law portfolio. Mr. Singh also overlooked the Health Minister’s recommendation for interim Health Director. The coalition Ministry was formed on March 15 and all four MLAs of the National People’s Party, including Mr. Jayentakumar, are in the Cabinet.
