I Am Ready for Change of Portfolio, Says Praful Patel

Nagpur: Union Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel tonight said he was ready for a change in his portfolio which he is holding since 2004.
"(Selection of Cabinet) is the prerogative of the Prime Minister but I am ready for change. In fact, I had requested the Prime Minister (for portfolio change) two years back but he insisted that I should continue with the current responsibility," the NCP leader told PTI here.
Patel, who is also President of All Indian Football Federation (AIFF), was here to inaugurate a soccer tournament. He had indicated yesterday at a function in New Delhi his desire to shift to another Ministry. His remarks came amid speculation that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh may undertake a reshuffle of his Council of Ministers soon.
