Raje to expand her cabinet in Rajasthan today
Jaipur, Oct 27 (IBNS): Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is expected to expand her cabinet on Monday, media reports said.
The cabinet expansion will take place after ten months of being in office. The CM herself was holding 47 portfolios and had just 12 ministers in her cabinet.
The swearing-in ceremony will take place at 3 pm on Monday when Governor Kalyan Singh will administer oath to the new expanded cabinet.
With the departure Sanwar Lal Jat - a former MLA and minister who had won the Lok Sabha election, the Raje cabinet would have been down to just 11 ministers. Jat could only continue in the cabinet for six months.
The number of ministers in the Rajasthan cabinet was below the minimum figure required and would have led to a constitutional crisis for her government, sources said.
