Delhi Minister Atishi Gets Additional Charge Of Finance, Revenue, Planning Depts After LG's Nod

The latest addition will raise the number of portfolios held by Delhi Minister Atishi to 12. Earlier, Kailash Gahlot was given the portfolios of planning and finance following Manish Sisodia's resignation.

Delhi Minister Atishi on Friday got additional portfolios of Finance, Revenue, and Planning departments after the approval of Lt Governor VK Saxena. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had sent a proposal for a cabinet reshuffle to LG V K Saxena earlier. All three departments were held by Minister Kailash Gahlot. Atishi, along with Saurabh Bharadwaj, was inducted into the cabinet in March this year following the resignations of Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain.

She had been holding the portfolios of power, education, art, culture and language, tourism, higher education, training, and technical education as well as public relations.

The latest addition will raise the number of portfolios held by her to 12.

Earlier, Kailash Gahlot was given the portfolios of planning and finance following Sisodia's resignation, who was arrested in connection with the excise policy case and is currently lodged in Tihar.

Earlier, a row erupted over the cabinet reshuffle file as Delhi government officials claimed that the matter was pending with the LG office and awaited approval, a charge denied by the latter.

The file relating to the cabinet reshuffle in the AAP dispensation has been lying with Delhi LG V K Saxena for the last four days waiting to be signed, an official said on Thursday, as per news agency PTI.

"The file to approve these changes has been with the Lt Governor for the last four days. His predecessor, Anil Baijal, used to approve such files within half an hour," PTI reported a source as saying, adding that the reshuffle is going to be a major one.

The PTI report said that sources from the LG office denied the allegation and said the file was signed on Wednesday and sent to the government.
