Chandigarh: The names of faces joining the new cabinet in Punjab have been sealed. After long meetings with Rahul Gandhi and the Central High Command, the newly appointed Chief Minister of Punjab, Charanjit Singh Channi, has sealed the faces of his cabinet. The new cabinet faces will be sworn in at the Punjab Governor's House at 4.30 pm today (Sunday). The names of Charanjit Singh Channi, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Deputy CM, OP Soni, had already been finalised.
These names will be included in the Cabinet:-
1- Brahm Mohindra 2- Bharat Bhushan 3- Manpreet Badal 4- Trapt Rajinder Bajwa 5- Kuljit Nagara 6- Pargat Singh 7- Sukhbinder Sarkaria 8- Vijay Inder Singla 9- Raj Kumar Verka 10- Rana Gurjit Singh 11- Sangat Giljiyan 12- Rakesh Pandey 13- Raja Wading 14- Razia Sultan 15- Gurkirat Kotli
Manpreet Badal played a key role in persuading the Congress high command in the name of Channi. It was because of Vijay Inder Singla's education minister that Punjab came number one in schools. Razia is the wife of Sultana Sidhu's strategic advisor Muhammad Mustafa. Aruna Chaudhary was also set to be removed but got the ministerial berth due to her relationship with Chief Minister Channi. Bharat Bhushan Ashu was not very close to the captain but has a good relationship with Rahul Gandhi. Trapt Bajwa and Sukh were in the group rebelling against the Captain, so they have also got back the ministerial post.
