After Delhi chief minster Arvind Kejriwal accepted the resignation of two ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain from the cabinet, departments held by Sisodia have been handed over to ministers Kailash Gahlot and Raaj Kumar Anand on Tuesday. The resignation came after the Supreme Court declined Sisodia's request to rule his arrest ‘illegal’. He was holding 18 portfolios of 33 departments including education, finance, planning, urban development among others.
