J and K cabinet reshuffle on April 30: Nirmal Singh

Jammu: The PDP-BJP coalition government in Jammu and Kashir will undertake a major reshuffle of the state cabinet, including induction of some new ministers, on April 30, deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh said tonight.

The reshuffle comes within a fortnight of the ruling partner BJP asking all its ministers in the state government to resign soon after two party ministers resigned over the Kathua rape and murder case. “The oath ceremony will take place at 12 noon on April 30,” Singh told PTI.

However, he said the list of the inductees is yet to be finalised and some new ministers will be inducted from the BJP as well.
