AAP minister Kuldeep Dhaliwal on row over ‘non-existent dept’: ‘Punjab important, not…’
Punjab minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal has responded to the controversy over the abolishment of the department of administrative reforms headed by him, which the state government said “is not in existence as on date”.
"They have now abolished the department. We have all come to save Punjab. For me, the department is not important; Punjab is important. (Whether this department exists or not) is not an agenda for us," Dhaliwal was quoted by ANI as saying.
"In partial modification of Punjab Government Notification No. 2/1/2022-2Cabinet/2230 dated September 23, 2024, regarding allocation of portfolios amongst the Ministers, the Department of Administrative Reforms earlier allotted to Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, Cabinet Minister is not in existence as on date," the government notification said.
