Bhattal made Deputy CM

New Delhi Jan. 6. The dissident Punjab Congress leader, Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, was today appointed the Deputy Chief Minister, a day after the party chief, Sonia Gandhi, brokered peace between Ms. Bhattal and the Chief Minister, Amarinder Singh, against whom she had raised a banner of revolt.

Announcing this at a press conference here, the AICC general secretary in-charge of the State, Mohsina Kidwai, also said a Cabinet expansion would be undertaken soon to accommodate more party MLAs. She hinted at a reshuffle in the State party unit saying the issue was under the high command's consideration. — PTI
