Among the probables whose names are doing the rounds for induction into the cabinet include Devender Singh Babli, the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) MLA from Tohana, while one from the BJP camp is also likely to be inducted, a report in news agency PTI said. The names of probables from the BJP camp doing the round include Gian Chand Gupta, who is currently Speaker of the Haryana Assembly and MLA from Panchkula, and Dr Kamal Gupta, MLA from Hisar.
Earlier on December 9, CM Khattar had met Governor Bandaru Dattatreya leading to speculations of cabinet expansion, a report in Dainik Jagran said.
The BJP and JJP, which are coalition partners, enjoy a majority in the 90-member Assembly. In 2019, more than two weeks after taking oath as the Haryana chief minister, Manohar Lal Khattar had first expanded his council of ministers in November that year by inducting 10 members.
Before induction of the 10 members then, JJP’s Dushyant Chautala had taken oath as the deputy chief minister. In the previous expansion at that time, six were inducted of cabinet rank and four as ministers of state, taking the total strength of council of ministers to 12 including the chief minister and his deputy.
