Upendra Kushwaha appoints son Deepak Prakash as a minister in the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar. He said this step would stop leaders from leaving his party. He also repeated that Upendra Kushwaha appoints son Deepak Prakash based on both loyalty and ability.
Kushwaha explained that many MPs and MLAs left his party in the past. In 2014, three MPs won from his party, but two of them left later. The same happened in the 2015 assembly elections. He said these exits weakened the party and created the same problem again and again.
To avoid this, he chose someone from his own family. He believes that family members stay loyal and help strengthen the party. He also praised Deepak Prakash for his energy and said new people with fresh ideas can help Bihar grow.
Deepak Prakash said he felt honored to work under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He promised to fulfill all responsibilities carefully. He also said comfort matters more than clothes when asked about taking the oath in jeans and a T-shirt.
Kushwaha added that both young energy and senior experience are important for Bihar’s development.
