Perform or lose portfolios, Shinde warns Shiv Sena ministers
A very important man in the Indian state of Maharashtra, named Eknath Shinde, is the Deputy Chief Minister.
He also leads a political party called the Shiv Sena.
Mr. Shinde called a meeting with some ministers from his own party.
At that meeting, he gave them a warning, or an ultimatum.
He said they must do a better job in their work, or they might lose their jobs.
He was not happy with four of the ministers, and he named three of them.
Their names are Sanjay Shirsat, Sanjay Rathod and Dada Bhuse.
Mr. Shinde said the people's work must get done and the party must grow stronger.
He also told them to focus on specific parts of Maharashtra.
The ministers now need to work harder or risk being removed from their posts.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde issued an ultimatum to some Shiv Sena ministers: perform or lose their ministerial posts during the upcoming state cabinet expansion.
The warning was delivered at a party meeting held before Tuesday's cabinet meeting.
Shinde expressed displeasure with four of his ministers, naming three of them: Sanjay Shirsat, Sanjay Rathod and Dada Bhuse.
He said the management of their departments was unsatisfactory and their performance had not improved despite repeated suggestions.
He directed ministers to focus on growing the party in Vidarbha, Washim, Marathwada and western Maharashtra, and sources say he prepares a performance report on all Shiv Sena ministers every three months.
