Hours after 15 ministers were sworn in in the cabinet expansion in Rajasthan, the state government has appointed six MLAs, including three independents, as advisors to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. The Congress MLAs who have been appointed as advisors are Jitendra Singh, Rajkumar Sharma and Danish Abrar.
According to the list released by the Chief Minister’s Office, independent MLAs Babu Lal Nagar, Sanyam Lodha and Ramkesh Meena have also been appointed as advisors to Gehlot.
Fifteen ministers were sworn in on Sunday in a cabinet expansion in Rajasthan, including 12 new faces, fulfilling a key demand of former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot, whose rebellion last year rocked the state’s Congress government.
Gehlot had said earlier in the day that those who would not be included in the council of ministers would be accommodated in other political appointments.
