The leaders from the state who were sworn in as part of Modi's Cabinet are Ravishankar Prasad, Radha Mohan Singh and LJP chief Paswan (all three as Cabinet Ministers), Dharmendra Pradhan (BJP) as MoS-Independent charge, and Rashtriya Lok Samta Party chief Upendra Kushwaha as Minister of State.
A five-term MP Radha Mohan Singh was president of BJP's Bihar unit between 2006 and 2009.
He had served in the erstwhile Jana Sangh. Ravishankar Prasad was Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting in the previous NDA government while Paswan has been a minister in all coalition governments since 1996, barring in UPA-II, which was in power from 2009 to 2014.
Pradhan, a Rajya Sabha MP from Bihar, is also the in-charge of party affairs for the state.
Kushwaha was an MP from JD (U) but later fell out with Kumar following which he formed RLSP and contested the polls in alliance with BJP. That brought about a turn in his fortunes and all three candidates of his party won in the just-concluded parliamentary polls.
