Chandigarh, July 4
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is expanding his cabinet today. A total of five MLAs are to be inducted into the Cabinet.
It will be the first cabinet expansion of the Bhagwant Mann-led government more than three months after the Aam Aadmi Party stormed to power in Punjab.
With the induction of five more ministers, the strength of the Mann-led cabinet will reach 15, including the Chief Minister.
It may be mentioned that there are nine ministers in the Cabinet now, besides the Chief Minister. The Aam Aadmi Party had stormed to power by bagging 92 seats in the 117-member Punjab Vidhan Sabha during the state assembly polls.
