Summary:
It is only Doaba that has got poor representation. There is also talk of a possible reshuffle of the portfolios of the existing ministers. Those left out would be accommodated as legislative assistants and heads of boards and corporations. CHANDIGARH: Despite Congress leadership’s effort to strike a regional and caste balance in cabinet expansion , it seems to have given a raw deal to the Doaba region, besides not having added any Dalit face to the list.The only legislator from Doaba is Sunder Shyam Arora from Hoshiarpur, while there is no representation of Jalandhar, Kapurthala and Nawanshahr. The inclusion of Pargat Singh could have done the balancing act for the party,” admitted a party leader.Meanwhile, Amarinder clarified that seniority was the key criteria in the selection of the new ministers..
