Kejriwal to head youngest Cabinet
25 Dec 2013 5:45 AM IST
From 26-year-old Rakhi Birla to 41-year-old Manish Sisodia, the soon-to-be Delhi Cabinet is not just going to be the youngest ever but also probably the first in which all members, including the chief minister, are debutant MLAs.
At an age when most youngsters struggle to find their feet in their career, Birla will not just be the youngest minister in Kejriwal’s cabinet, but also its only woman face. Birla had emerged as a giant killer after thumping four-time MLA and PWD minister Raj Kumar Chauhan in the Sheila Dikshit government in Mangolpuri by around 10,500 votes.
Birla hails from Valmiki community and her father was associated with Congress for a long time but quit the party in 2011 during the Janlokpal movement.
Manish Sisodia, a trusted aide of Kejriwal, came to prominence during Anna Hazare’s movement for Janlokpal Bill in 2011.
