Question 17 of 20
17. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following pairs (Minster – Portfolio held) is not correctly matched?
Correct
During the reshuffle, at least three ministers — deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha and Nitin Nabin of the BJP along with Santosh Kumar Suman (HAM-S) — had two departments each taken away from them while four other ministers lost one department each.
Prior to the reshuffle, Sinha held three key departments – road construction, mines and geology and art, culture and youth affairs, as per the cabinet secretariat department notification. However, following the changes, road construction was transferred to his ministerial colleague Nitin Nabin while art, culture and youth affairs was allocated to new inductee Moti Lal Prasad. Sinha was later assigned the agriculture department as compensation.
Both departments earlier held by Nabin — urban development and housing and law — were taken away. The urban development and housing department was assigned to newly inducted minister Jibesh Kumar while the law department was given to health minister Mangal Pandey, who in turn lost the agriculture department.
Similarly, HAM(S) president Suman had been in charge of three departments — information technology, minor water resources and disaster management. Two of these key departments, information technology and disaster management, were now taken from him, leaving him with only the minor water resources Department. The information technology department was allocated to Krishna Kumar Mantoo while disaster management went to Vijay Kumar Mandal. Both are new inductees.
The environment, forest and climate change Department was removed from cooperative minister Prem Kumar and assigned to new inductee Sunil Kumar, who hails from Nitish’s home district of Nalanda. This department has gained prominence following the CM’s launch of the Jal-Jivan-Hariyali scheme and a special campaign to free water bodies from encroachment to aid groundwater recharge.
The tourism department was taken from industry minister Nitish Mishra and handed to new inductee Raju Kumar Singh. Mishra had recently made headlines for launching the Mukhyamantri Homestay/Bed & Breakfast Protsahan Yojana 2024, aimed at promoting local tourism in Bihar by offering tourists personalised hospitality and an authentic cultural experience. “Host and earn while showcasing the vibrant traditions of your region,” was the slogan introduced by the tourism department.
Similarly, the revenue and land reforms department, earlier held by BJP minister Dilip Jaiswal before his resignation, was allocated to the party’s five-time MLA, Sanjay Saraogi. Jaiswal resigned on Wednesday, just ahead of the cabinet expansion.
