UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has reshuffled his Cabinet. Three Indian-origin Labour MPs got front-bench posts. Kanishka Narayan is now Minister for Artificial Intelligence. Satvir Kaur and Harpreet Uppal also got key roles. With Uma Kumaran, a junior Foreign Office minister, the front bench now has two Hindu and two Sikh ministers. Seema Malhotra and Preet Kaur Gill, both close to former PM Keir Starmer, moved to the backbenches. Lisa Nandy stays on as Culture Secretary. Narayan was born in Bihar. Kaur's parents ran a saree shop in Southampton. Uppal once worked on Burnham's mayoral campaign.
