Punjab Cabinet Overhaul: The Chief Minister attended another round of meet with Rahul Gandhi, party insiders say, over a video conference last nightto finalise the names.
Hours after Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi met Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Saturday with a list of the names of the ministers of his new cabinet, sources said last-minute deliberation within the Congress has thrown up a fresh challenge.
The Chief Minister attended another round of meet with Rahul Gandhi, party insiders say, over a video conference last night to finalise the names ahead of the oath of the new cabinet at 4:30 pm today.
He has already met Mr Gandhi thrice in Delhi since he took oath on Monday.
The state government is likely to induct seven new faces in the cabinet, including MLA Rana Gurjeet Singh who was sacked from former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh's cabinet over allegations of corruption.
