Earlier, a section of Congress leaders from the state had written to party's state unit chief Navjot Singh Sidhu demanding that "tainted" former minister Rana Gurjit Singh should not be included.
Hours before the first cabinet expansion of the Charanjit Singh Channi-led Punjab government, a group of ministers in the previous Amarinder Singh government on Sunday questioned the apparent decision to drop them.
Earlier, a section of Congress leaders from the state had written to party's state unit chief Navjot Singh Sidhu demanding that "tainted" former minister Rana Gurjit Singh should not be included.
The leaders also demanded that the cabinet berth may instead be filled up "by giving representation to a clean Dalit leader". The copy of the letter was also sent to Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
In another development, ministers in the previous Amarinder cabinet - Balbir Singh Sidhu and Gurpreet Singh Kangar, held a joint news conference in Chandigarh shortly before the cabinet expansion, and asked what was their fault that they had been dropped.
