The first stage of the much-anticipated formation of Haryana Cabinet under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda is scheduled to commence in Chandigarh on November 6.
According to sources within the Congress, <b>Chief Minister Hooda is likely to appoint six members as Cabinet Ministers on Friday. </b>Though official sources did not confirm the number of Ministers to be appointed,<b> Hooda is expected to keep the numbers down to a bare minimum keeping in view increased pressure on him from his detractors within the party.</b>
According to political observers, <b>the reason behind limiting the first induction to just half-a-dozen members is that various caste combinations would have to be worked out. Another reason attributed is the fact that the Congress high command would want to placate a few bruised egos among the State leadership and, hence, likely to oblige them.</b>
Among the frontrunners for Cabinet berths are Capt. Ajay Singh Yadav, Kiran Chaudhary, Randeep Singh Surjewala, Savitri Jindal, Geeta Bhukkal and Raghubir Singh Kadian. Hooda is also likely to keep a few slots aside to adjust Independent MLAs and Haryana Janhit Congress MLAs, if the party does decide to join the Congress.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
