Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is likely to retain all the ministers who were part of his previous government and will add no new faces to the cabinet, according to reports.
The portfolios of the ministers, however, will be decided later. There were speculations that Raghav Chadha and Atishi—who earlier were advisors to the government—will be included in the cabinet.
Manish Sisodia, Rajendra Pal Gautam, Satyendar Jain, Kailash Gahlot, Gopal Rai and Imran Hussain are likely to be retained in the new Aam Aadmi Party government, PTI reported quoting sources.
