Manjinder Singh Sirsa takes oath as cabinet minister in Punjabi

New Delhi: Manjinder Singh Sirsa, a senior leader in the new BJP government, was sworn in as a cabinet minister in Delhi on Thursday.

Sirsa, who was elected as an MLA from Rajouri Garden, took his oath in Punjabi and called out “Fateh” on stage.
