Chandigarh, December 27
The much-awaited expansion of the Haryana Cabinet will take place at the Raj Bhavan here on December 28.
The second expansion in the BJP-JJP Government in Haryana is likely to see the inclusion of two ministers, one each from both parties.
The frontrunner for the Cabinet berth from the BJP was Kamal Gupta, a two-time MLA from Hisar.
From the JJP, Devender Singh Babli, an MLA from Tohana, is the frontrunner. However, JJP MLAs will hold a meeting before the swearing-in on Wednesday to decide on the party nominee.
The Cabinet was previously expanded in November of 2019—days after Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala cobbled up an alliance to wrest power in the state.
Haryana currently has 12 council of ministers, including the chief minister and his deputy.
