Raja Bhaiyya makes a comeback into UP cabinet
Lucknow: The controversial leader Raja Bhaiyya has been re-inducted in the UP cabinet in today's expansion of Akhilesh Yadav ministry.He was sworn-in in presence of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, senior ministers Azam Khan, Shivpal Singh
Justifying the re-induction of Raja Bhaiyya into UP cabinet, the SP leader Naresh Agarwal said that the party had always said that Raja Bhaiyya was innocent in the DSP murder case.
“Since the CBI has given him a clean chit in the case, he has been rightly re-inducted,” said Naresh Agarwal.
Reacting to the re-induction of Raja Bhaiyya into the Akhilesh cabinet, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president Laxmikant Bajyai said it was an internal matter of SP.
He, however, added that the SP had not done any favour to Raja Bhaiya.
"He was named in a murder case and was found to be innocent in the case by the investigative agencies and hence it is a natural process that is being followed," he added.
