The expansion of the Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led ministry in Haryana, which was scheduled for today, was postponed due to differences over whom to induct. An official spokesman told that the expansion of the ministry has been postponed and it is expected to take place on Saturday. The spokesman did not specify the reason for the postponement but Congress sources said it was necessitated as talks within the party as also with the Independent MLAs, who supported the party-led government, were inconclusive. Hooda and other senior leaders of the party, including Randeep Surjewala and Kiran Choudhary, both of whom are aspirants to the ministry, are camping in Delhi. Besides, negotiations are on with Kuldeep Bishnoi led Haryana Janhit Congress, which has six MLAs, in Delhi where the Chief Minister is camping.
