In a significant cabinet reshuffle, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab has redistributed the portfolios previously held by Sanjeev Arora, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on May 9 in connection with an alleged GST fraud and money laundering case. Aman Arora has been assigned the industries and commerce and investment promotion department while retaining his role in new and renewable energy sources. Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains now oversees the local government department, and Tarunpreet Singh Sond, the minister for rural development, panchayats, tourism, and labour, has been given the power portfolio. Sanjeev Arora remains in the cabinet despite opposition calls for his removal. The proposal for this reshuffle was sent to Governor Gulab Chand Kataria on May 10 and approved shortly after. This political maneuvering occurs amidst ongoing tensions between the Punjab government and the central authorities, reflecting the instability within the state's political landscape.
