Punjab's Cabinet Expansion Live Updates: 10 MLAs to take oath as ministers

Chandigarh : The Aam Aadmi Party on Friday announced its Council of Ministers, who will be sworn in on Saturday morning. Against 17 vacancies in the Cabinet (besides Chief Minister), the party is inducting only ten ministers.

Sources in the party say that it was after a series of discussions between the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and party top brass that the names of the Cabinet ministers have been finalised. The Chief Minister, they say, has prevailed upon the party high command in choosing his team.

Sources in the party say that though there was intense lobbying from some of the party MLAs, including a second-time woman MLA and a first-time MLA from Majha, but Chief Minister Mann is believed to be keen on a lean Cabinet initially.TNS
