All Ministers likely to be retained. Two new faces might be inducted
The Haryana Chief Minister’s office on Monday put to rest speculation over the past six months on the possible expansion of Cabinet saying it would take place on Tuesday.
“The Cabinet will be expanded on December 28. The swearing-in will be held at the Raj Bhavan at 4 p.m.,” said a tweet from the official handle of the Chief Minister’s office.
The Cabinet has 12 Ministers, including four Ministers of State, leaving two vacancies to fill — one each from the Bharatiya Janta Party and the Jannayak Janata Party. Chief Minister Manohar Lal had called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his official residence in Delhi a month ago fuelling speculation of a possible expansion and reshuffle by the year-end.
