Central Chemicals Minister M K Azhagiri may not be liking the portfolio he has, and is mostly absent from the Cabinet meetings, but he is traveling a lot overseas at the cost of the ministry on the pretext of foreign delegations. He was recently in China as part of a representative team of the food production industrialists. Before this he was away in Australia. He has visited six countries in the past eight months – on government expense. Now even the DMK leaders are complaining that Azhaigiri seems to have forgotten the Madurai constituency and is more of a foreign minister than a chemical minister. It will be interesting to see if the man donning the dark glasses takes notice of this.
