Delhi Cabinet Reshuffle News: Atishi to get charge of services, vigilance departments? CM Arvind Kejriwal sends file to L-G VK Saxena for approval | Delhi News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday sent a file to lieutenant governor VK Saxena for approval, allotting service and vigilance department to Atishi, reported news agency PTI quoting a government source.

The two portfolios were earlier held by Atishi’s cabinet colleague Saurabh Bharadwaj.
The move comes a day after the Delhi services bill secured parliamentary approval after the Rajya Sabha passed the measure that will give the Centre control over the bureaucracy in the national capital.

Atishi was given additional charge of the revenue, planning and the finance departments in June after Saxena approved a proposal to rejig the Cabinet.
These three departments were earlier with transport minister Kailash Gahlot.
Atishi — the only woman minister in the Delhi cabinet — will now hold 14 portfolios, the highest among all ministers in the city government.
