New Delhi, Feb 12 (IANS) Delhi Chief Minister-designate Arvind Kejriwal is likely to appoint his trusted colleague Manish Sisodia as the deputy CM, sources said Thursday, adding that cabinet ministers in AAP's Delhi government are almost decided.

The decision was taken at a meeting of Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Political Affairs Committee (PAC) Wednesday night at Kejriwal's residence in Kaushambi in Ghaziabad, party sources said.

Among those likely to be included in the cabinet are: Satyendra Jain, Adarsh Shastri, Saurabh Bhardwaj, Jitender Tomar, Kapil Mishra, Sandeep Kumar and Asim Ahmed Khan.
