Congress criticizes AAP govt. for not including women in cabinet

Congress leader Jai Prakash Agarwal on Saturday criticized the Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi for not including any woman in their cabinet.

"It is very surprising, they [AAP] had spoken about women a lot and they had even supported them. I think it is the first time there is no woman in the cabinet," Agarwal told ANI here.

Kejriwal earlier in the day took oath as Delhi's new Chief Minister along with six other ministers. Kejriwal will keep the finance, water and power ministries, while Manish Sisodia will be the Deputy Chief Minister. Sisodia will also take care of Urban Development and Education portfolios.

Home and law ministries will be with Jitender Tomar while Satyendar Jain will be the Health Minister. Former student leader Gopal Rai will take care of transport and labour ministries, Sandeep Kumar will look after women and child development ministries and Asim Ahmed will head food and civil supply.
