Jitin Prasada promoted in Yogi 2.0

At the same time, the stature of Jitin Prasad, who was made a minister a few months before the elections in Yogi Sarkar 1.0, has increased in Yogiraj 2.0. An important department like Public Works Department (PWD) has been given to Jitin Prasad, who came from Congress. Jitin Prasad was given the charge of Technical Education Department in Yogiraj 1.0. Jitin Prasad, who joined the BJP last year after leaving the Congress, was allotted technical education in the last few months of the previous Yogi government. Allotment of PWD department to him this time is being seen as promotion.

At the same time, the charge of Technical Education Department has been given to Ashish Patel, who was made minister from Apna Dal’s quota. While another newcomer, former IAS officer and former PMO officer AK Sharma, has been given the Department of Urban Development and Jal Shakti.

Keshav Prasad was shredded on Maurya’s

In Yogi Sarkar 2.0, the Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya has been cut off. The Public Works Department has been replaced with six departments, which include Rural Development, Rural Engineering, Food Processing, Entertainment Tax, Public Enterprises and National Integration. However, he has been given full charge of health, family welfare and medical education. In the previous Yogi government, there were two ministers handling health and medical education separately. The two portfolios given to AK Sharma were also handled by two ministers Ashutosh Tandon and Shrikant Sharma in the previous government. This time both have been thrown out. Sharma, who hails from Mau district, had opted for VRS two years before his retirement to become BJP MLC in 2021 and was waiting to get a ministerial post.

The 34 departments that Yogi has kept with him include Home, Recruitment, Personnel, Information, Housing and Town Planning, Administrative Reforms and Planning. When he took over as CM in 2017, Yogi had 36 departments. In subsequent reshuffles, this number was reduced.

BJP’s state president and now cabinet minister Swatantra Dev Singh has been given seven departments including Jal Shakti and Namami Gange. He has the most departments after the CM. These departments were earlier with Mahendra Singh, who could not get a place in the cabinet this time.
