Ashok Gehlot's new-look cabinet was revealed today with 15 new faces. Five Sachin Pilot loyalists are among the 30 state ministers as the big revamp aims to put the differences - that became a public spectacle last year - to rest.
In a balancing act to settle down the internal conflict of Rajasthan Congress, the party has come up with a formula in which the dissident faction of former deputy CM Sachin Pilot got 5 and CM Ashok Gehlot 10 berths in the much-awaited cabinet rejig.
Chief Minister Gehlot told reporters after the oath taking ceremony that representation has been given to all, be it scheduled tribes, scheduled castes, backward classes or minorities. He said that portfolios will be allotted while keeping in mind preparations for the assembly elections in 2023.
