Outspoken Giriraj Singh sworn in as Union Minister in Modi Cabinet 2.0

Giriraj Singh, a former minister of state for micro, small and medium enterprises, was on Thursday sworn in as a Union minister in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet. 

A former MP from Nawada, Singh has formerly served as minister of Cooperative, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Resource Development in the government of Bihar.
Singh contested from Begusarai, a seat from where he claimed he was not comfortable since his stronghold was Nawada. After much back and forth with the party, Singh fought from Begusarai against Left candidate Kanhaiya Kumar. Singh had camped in Delhi for days, protesting the move and refusing to start his campaign. He eventually defeated Kumar by a record of four lakh votes.
