Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Wednesday approved Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's proposal to allocate new departments to ministers Kailash Gahlot and Rajkumar Anand.
Kejriwal had sent a proposal to allot eight portfolios to Gahlot and 10 portfolios to Anand. The move was necessitated after Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and minister Satyendar Jain resigned from their respective positions in the government. Sisodia was arrested on February 26 in the liquor policy scam case while Jain was arrested on May 30 last year in a money laundering case and is currently lodged in Tihar Jail.
Kejriwal has entrusted both the ministers with major portfolios including Home, Health and Education, besides the departments already held by the two ministers.
