CM Mann will leave for Delhi on Wednesday. He will attend the celebration of the party’s victory in Ludhiana and Gujarat by -elections. Mann said that earlier, he had also fulfilled the promise made with the people of Jalandhar and administered the oath of office to Mohinder Bhagat. This time, on the question of including more faces in the cabinet, Mann did not give any clear answer and said that all things cannot be revealed today.
Mann said that the Punjab issues will be sent to the Rajya Sabha and will soon announce the name of the party. AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has already denied going to Rajya Sabha. Sanjeev Arora is currently a Rajya Sabha member, but now he is being made a minister after being elected MLA. There is also talk of including another face in the cabinet. Dr. Indrabir Singh was a Nijjar minister before Amritsar district, but later removed. They may return again. This will be the seventh reshuffle during the three -year tenure under the leadership of Mann. The changes made earlier were also made changes on the basis of regional equations and party performance.
Asked for a place for party office in Chandigarh
Mann has also raised the issue of giving space for the party office in Chandigarh before the Governor.

In the recent by -elections, AAP won in Ludhiana and Gujarat. Apart from this, we also have MLAs in Goa. We also have a government in Punjab and we also fulfill all the conditions for the party office in the Union Territory of Chandigarh. CM Mann said that Congress, BJP and SAD also have office in Chandigarh. Today we have given a letter to the Governor regarding the party office in Chandigarh.
