With this, Prakash, son of RLM chief and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha, will continue to serve as a minister in the Samrat Choudhary-led Cabinet. AdvertisementPrakash became an MLC after BJP leader Devesh Kumar resigned from his position, seven months before the completion of his term, to make way for the former’s nomination. “Now that the BJP has Samrat Choudhary, a prominent Kushwaha leader, as CM, why should the party continue to pamper Upendra Kushwaha? The RLM chief will face another tough hurdle after seven months,” said the BJP leader. To avert Prakash’s removal from the Bihar cabinet, BJP leader Kumar surrendered his MLC seat seven months early.
