Punjab Cabinet Reshuffle: Five New Ministers Inducted, Four Dropped in Major Overhaul

In a significant reshuffle, the Punjab Cabinet saw the inclusion of five new faces as Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann expanded his team. The newly inducted ministers are Barinder Kumar Goyal (Lehra), Mohinder Bhagat (Jalandhar West), Hardeep Singh Mundian (Sahnewal), Tarunpreet Singh Sond (Khanna), and Dr. Ravjot Singh (Sham Chaurasi). This reshuffle, which also witnessed the exit of four ministers, took place at a swearing-in ceremony held at Punjab Raj Bhavan, Chandigarh, where Governor Gulab Chand Katariya administered the oath of office to the new ministers.

The induction of Mohinder Bhagat had been anticipated since Chief Minister Mann had promised his elevation during the Jalandhar by-elections. Bhagat’s appointment fulfills this commitment, bringing fresh representation from Jalandhar West into the cabinet. The other four ministers, relatively new faces in state politics, had not been previously discussed, making their inclusion a surprise move by Mann.

This reshuffle underscores the government’s effort to bring in new talent and fulfill the expectations of the public. The newly appointed ministers, all Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs, are expected to strengthen the state’s governance and contribute to the overall development of Punjab. By focusing on transparency and honesty, the government aims to meet the needs of Punjab’s 3 crore people and build a progressive, vibrant state.

This cabinet expansion comes shortly after Mann removed his Officer on Special Duty (OSD), Onkar Singh, signaling further internal adjustments within his administration. The reshuffle is seen as a strategic move to align the government’s priorities with its pro-people agenda, positioning the new ministers to make meaningful contributions to the state’s growth.

With this fresh set of leaders, the Punjab government is hopeful that these ministers will live up to the public’s expectations, working diligently towards a colorful, prosperous Punjab. Best wishes have been extended to the newly inducted ministers, who have pledged to serve the people with utmost dedication.
