Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday took charge of his new office at the Punjab Secretariat this afternoon amid multi-religious prayers.
The second floor office of Punjab’s 26th chief minister reverberated with the chanting of sacred hymns from the Bhagwad Gita, the Guru Granth Sahib, the Quran and the Bible as he entered it in the company of several of his newly inducted ministerial colleagues, MlAs and close aides and associates.
This is the second time that Capt Amarinder will occupy the Punjab chief minister’s stately office. He first occupied the office during his previous term as chief minister from 2002 to 2007.
