On the other hand, when asked about the speculation about Mandi Sadar's BJP MLA Anil Sharma being re-appointed as a minister, he smilingly avoided this question and said that nothing is decided yet. He also did not open his cards in this regard, refusing to make any list or panel of ministerial candidates. It should be known that in the winter session of the Himachal Assembly these days, many senior BJP MLAs are praising CM Jayaram.

Many of these ministers are considered in the race for the post. On filling these vacancies of ministers, the opposition is also repeatedly taunting the ruling party. Chief Minister has made it so clear by talking of expansion of the cabinet after the Jharkhand elections that he is not going to take any decision in this regard in the next 1 or 2 weeks. The process of assembly elections in Jharkhand is being completed on 23 December.
