Replying to a question, Singla told reporters outside the Haryana governor’s residence that he had received a message to reach there at 11 am.
Asked whether the cabinet expansion was delayed because Anil Vij was upset, Singla said that it got delayed initially because of this reason. “But attempts will be made to persuade him,” he added.
