Chandigarh: Punjab Food Processing and Horticulture Minister Fauja Singh Sarari has resigned from his post. He says that he has resigned due to personal reasons.

He is and will remain a loyal soldier of the party. With this, the Punjab Cabinet is being reshuffled today, while the portfolios of many ministers will be changed.

Sarari’s purported audio went viral in September, after which the Aam Aadmi Party issued two show-cause notices to him.
