The chief minister himself announced Singla’s removal from the Cabinet which was sworn-in just two months ago after the Aam Aadmi Party stormed to power, riding on the agenda of corruption-free governance, and other poll promises.
Mann said the decision was made after he came to know that Singla was allegedly demanding a “one per cent commission” in tenders and purchases of his department. (PTI)
