Tamil Nadu CM K Palaniswami rules out Cabinet reshuffle

Chennai: Denying media reports, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Saturday ruled out any reshuffle in the state Cabinet.

"It is only the newspapers that are publishing news about a ministry change. There will be no change in the ministry," he told the media at Yercaud, about 370 km from here.

As for meetings of AIADMK legislators with him, Palaniswami said they discussed issues related to their respective constituencies.

The Chief Minister said he will respond to the Centre`s move to prevent sale of cows and buffaloes for slaughter when the order is received.

 "One cannot say anything on the basis of newspaper reports."
