New Delhi: After scripting history by securing 67 of the total 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly polls, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is all set to add another feather to its cap as the Arvind Kejriwal-led Cabinet will probably be the youngest in India with an average age of 37.
According to party Sources, the party on Thursday sent a list of Cabinet nominees to Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung's office. The list has six names including party MLA from Patparganj, Manish Sisodia, who will be the Deputy Chief Minister.
If sources are to be believed, there will be no woman in the new Cabinet.
Besides Sisodia, the list has only Satyendra Jain returning from the erstwhile 49-day AAP government.
The list includes Jitendra Tomar (Tri Nagar MLA), Sandeep Kumar (Sultanpuri Majra) and Asim Ahmed Khan (Matia Mahal) - the only minority face-in the government. Name of Karawal Nagar MLA Kapil Mishra was doing the rounds for a ministerial berth but was later replaced by senior Political Affairs Committee member and Babarpur MLA Gopal Rai.
Sources said all the four – Jitendra, Sandeep, Asim and Gopal -- are first time legislators and the decision to induct them was taken at AAP Political Affairs Committee meeting in the wee hours on Wednesday.
Exactly a year after he abruptly resigned, Kejriwal and his ministers will take oath on February 14 at Ramlila Maidan.
