Ex-Congress Leaders Appointed to Key Delhi Government Posts
Two former Congress leaders, Arvinder Singh Lovely and Raj Kumar Chauhan, who switched to the BJP, have been given important jobs in Delhi's government.
Lovely will head the Trans-Yamuna Development Board, and Chauhan will lead the Village Development Board.
Both positions are as important as being a Cabinet minister.
This is seen as a way for the BJP to thank them for their help in recent elections.
Both leaders used to be ministers in the past when the Congress party was in charge.
BJP appoints former Congress leaders Arvinder Singh Lovely and Raj Kumar Chauhan to key positions.
Lovely becomes Chairman of the Trans-Yamuna Development Board, equivalent to a Cabinet minister.
