gone to Delhi on Thursday evening where he discussed the formation of his
14 Slides cabinet with Rahul Gandhi. He had also held discussions with All-India Congress
Committee (AICC) general secretary Harish Rawat. After the meeting, Mr Channi
returned early Friday morning.

Meanwhile, former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar is learnt to have met
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. There is now speculation that Mr Jakhar, who
narrowly missed out on succeeding Amarinder Singh as chief minister, may be
rehabilitated with some post.

Mr Jakhar was the frontrunner for the post of the Congress Legislature Party
leader. However, party leaders, including Ambika Soni, suggested that a Sikh
should occupy the top post in the state.

The Congress picked Mr Channi, who belongs to the Scheduled Castes

community.
 The state Cabinet is likely to see some fresh faces, the sources said. The names
of Pargat Singh, Raj Kumar Verka, Gurkirat Singh Kotli, Sangat Singh Gilzian, Surjit
Dhiman, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and Kuljit Singh Nagra are doing the
rounds.

Pargat Singh, considered close to Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu,
is at present the state party unit's general secretary and Mr Gilzian is a working
president.

There is a speculation that Amarinder Singh's staunch loyalists -- Rana Gurmit

Singh Sodhi, who is the sports minister, and Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, who is the
social justice empowerment minister -- may be dropped from the cabinet.
