Meanwhile, Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki today accepted the resignation of two ministers - Ghanshyam Saraf and Bikram Singh Thekedar.
Later on, while interacting with media persons, the Chief Minister said in reply to a question concerning reasons for resignation by two Ministers that it is a general process.
As the number of Minister is limited in the Cabinet, replacement is the only option to give chance to other legislators.
He said that, if required, such changes would also be made in future.
In reply to another question he said that while acting swiftly, a Special Investigation Team has been constituted to further investigate the case of gangrape at Rohtak and the culprits have also been arrested by the police.
