Briefcase 1 Babulal Gaur, Sartaj Singh surprised over Cabinet rejig. "The decision to remove Babulal Gaur and Sartaj Singh was essentially taken by the state unit of the party after informing the central unit. When the list of 5 ministers removed from the Union Cabinet did not include their names, Sartaj Singh and Babulal Gaur were taken by surprise. On Tuesday, while the Union Cabinet expansion was taking place, there were no signs of elders - or those above 75 years, who were asked to resign. The central unit was brought in strategically to strengthen the decision" said a central BJP leader on condition of anonymity.
