Three new ministers in Chhattisgarh

Raipur: Three new faces were included in the Raman Singh-led Chhattisgarh government on Friday in the long awaited cabinet expansion.

The expansion brings in Bhaiya Lal Rajwade, Mahesh Gagda and Dayaldas Baghel as ministers.

Due for around one-and-a-half years, the government's move fulfils the mandatory constitutional requirement to have 15 percent of the total elected lawmakers as ministers in a state government.
