Bhagwant Mann will be sworn-in as Punjab Chief Minister today at an elaborate ceremony. The AAP leader will take oath at Khatkar Kalan, which is the ancestral village of legendary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh.

Mann will take oath alone on Wednesday, reports said.

The Punjab cabinet can have 18 ministers including the chief minister.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other senior party leaders will take part in the swearing-in ceremony.

The Aam Aadmi Party romped home winning 92 seats in the 117-member Punjab Assembly, decimating the Congress and the SAD-BSP combine.

Officials are expecting over 3 lakh people to attend the event.
