Former Kerala health minister KK Shailaja, who was praised for her handling the Covid crisis last year, has said that she has no qualms about being dropped out of the new Pinarayi Vijayan cabinet.

Talking to India Today TV, Shailaja said that she is not the only one, the entire cabinet has been replaced.

"It was a collective decision of the party. The party has decided to infuse new faces into the cabinet, which is a good thing. We certainly need to give the opportunity to others," KK Shailaja said.

"It is not just me, it applies to everyone in the previous cabinet," she said.
