Jammu and Kashmir government Cabinet reshuffle to take place After the resignation of Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh and other BJP MLAs in Jammu and Kashmir, the reshuffle in the Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP-BJP coalition government will take place on Monday, expected to induct five new faces. Ahead of the reshuffle, BJP leader Ram Madhav said, 'The cabinet reshuffle has nothing to do with the Kathua incident. Our government has completed three years and we decided to give a chance to new faces. 5 members of the party will be sworn-in as ministers today.' Cabinet reshuffle takes place depending on circumstances of the past and present and also taking cognizance of the challenges that lie ahead in the future. This is a very normal thing in any democratic setup," Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on the new faces being sworn-in into the J-K govt. According to the invitation for the ceremony, the oath of office and secrecy will be administered to those being inducted into the council of ministers by J&K Governor N N Vohra at the convention centre in Jammu at 12 noon. The function is being held at the convention centre instead of the Raj Bhavan because the J&K government has already shifted its base to the summer capital of Srinagar as part of its biannual 'darbar move', under which the government functions six months each in the twin capital cities. -PTC News
