Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh was sworn-in as the chief minister of Punjab on Thursday by Governor VP Singh Badnore. Other party leaders too were sworn-in for various Cabinet posts during the oath-taking ceremony.
The Congress managed to go well beyond the halfway mark in the elections, garnering 77 out of the 117 seats in the Assembly. One of the key reasons the Congress won was the people's disenchantment with the SAD-BJP government.

10 am IST: The ceremony where Captain Amarinder Singh will be administered the oath for the chief minister by the governor begins.
Paswan and Jadhav quarrelled, after which he flung chilli powder on his eyes and assaulted him. Then, Waghe and Khan caught hold of Jadhav, while Paswan put a rope around his neck, and Khan throttled him. Later, Kamlibai cut his throat with the sickle.
The court was told that the next morning, the accused reassembled and cut the victim's body into pieces, and detached his head and left leg, according to the girl. She even heard Pawar saying the work of eliminating Jadhav had been done. The accused packed the body in a gunny bag, and threw some body parts behind the house of Fatte Mohammad Shah at Dongarpada. The head was found 200 feet away, and the left leg in nearby bushes.
