Cabinet of ‘Mann’: Cabinet formation in Punjab tomorrow, these ten MLAs will become ministers, the first meeting will be held at 12.30 pm

Ahead of the swearing-in of the new government in Punjab, speculations are rife about the possible formation of the cabinet amid reports of top leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party giving a free hand to their nominated Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for the party. According to party sources, the high command has given Mann full freedom to decide on his cabinet colleagues.

Raghav Chadha, who was present as an observer on behalf of the party in the legislature party meeting, has also indicated this. He has said that it is the prerogative of the Chief Minister which faces he will include in the cabinet. He said that Bhagwant Mann is the government. They will decide who will take oath as a minister. Some party leaders say that Mann will rely on those MLAs who stood by the party in difficult times. Sources said the sitting MLAs who have been re-elected as MLAs are likely to join the cabinet of the elected Chief Minister Mann.

Harpal Singh Cheema: May become Deputy Chief Minister

The most important face in the cabinet is that of Harpal Singh Cheema. Cheema has won for the second time in a row. He was the Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Legislative Assembly while being the party’s face on posters and hoardings during the election campaign. Before Mann became the chief ministerial face, party posters in Punjab used to have three faces Arvind Kejriwal, Bhagwant Mann and Harpal Singh Cheema.
