Lucknow: Ten members from Uttar Pradesh were on Sunday inducted into the Union Council of Ministers of the BJP-led NDA government, with the caste balance being heavy.
In the Modi 3.0 government, five backward, two Dalit and three advanced caste leaders from UP have been given ministerial posts.
The NDA suffered a serious defeat in the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, while the Indian Bloc made huge gains and the Samajwadi Party attributed its victory to its "PDA" formula.
PDA means that SP's focus is on 'backward, Dalit, minority'.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and five members of the Other Backward Class (OBC) community from UP have been included in the formation of the new government.
Apart from Modi (Teli-Vaishya community), the others are Jayant Chaudhary (Jat), Pankaj Chaudhary (Kurmi), Anupriya Patel (Kurmi) and BL Verma (Lodh).
Kamlesh Paswan (Pasi) and SP Baghel (Dhangar), who come from Dalit community, have also been given a place in the government.
Three so-called upper caste leaders have been given a chance in the Union Council of Ministers. Rajnath Singh and Minister of State Kirti Vardhan Singh, who took oath after Modi, come from the Kshatriya community, while another Minister of State Jitin Prasad represents the Brahmin community.Among the ministers inducted into the Modi 3.0 government (from allies) are RLD's Jayant Chaudhary who was honored with the post of minister of state with independent charge, Apna Dal (S) chief Anupriya Patel, who has been in the NDA since 2014, for the third time in the state. Has been successful in becoming a minister.
