After appointing Arjun Meghwal, MoS Law SP Baghel moved to Health Ministry

Hours after Kiren Rijiju was relieved from his duty as the Union Law Minister, the Minister of State for Law and Justice Satya Pal Singh Baghel has been moved to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

After Rijiju was dropped from the Law Ministry, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal was allotted the portfolio of Union Minister of State (Independent in-charge) for the Ministry of Law in addition to already held portfolios as the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and Ministry of Culture.

As per a convention, a ministry which is already headed by a Minister of state with independent in-charge cannot have a deputy, which is because Baghel was moved to Health Ministry.

A press communique of the Rastrapati Bhavan stated that the President of India on the advice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi directed to assign SP Baghel as the Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare in place of the Minister of State for Law and Justice.

The move of cabinet re-shuffle by the government was surprising to drop Rijiju from Law and appoint him as the Union Minister of Earth Sciences earlier this morning.

SP Baghel, a former Mulayam Singh Yadav loyalist and Bahujan Samaj party member, joined the BJP in 2014.

Baghel was brought into politics by late Mulayam Singh Yadav, Baghel was a police officer who back in the time used to be in the security team of Yadav while he was the Chief Minister.

Later, Yadav brought Baghel into politics and gave various positions within the party and later in 1998, Baghel made his electoral debut fighting from UP’s Jalesar Lok Sabha seat on a SP ticket , which he won and repeated the same in the consecutive 1999 and 2004 polls.

Later in 2009 after being denied ticket, Baghel joined BSP and lost the contest against SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav in Firozabad but a year later the BSP made him a Rajya Sabha member but in 2014, he joined BJP and again contested Firozabad Lok Sabha seat, this time against son of SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav but was defeated.

Later in 2017 UP assembly elections, the BJP fielded him from a Scheduled Caste reserved Tunda seat in Firozabad, where he marked victory and was made the Minister for Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, Minor Irrigation and Underground Water. He stepped down from the post after getting elected to the Lok Sabha in 2019 general polls. In 2021, he was inducted to PM Modi’s cabinet.

Delhi lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena today sought a detailed probe from Delhi Police commissioner Sanjay Arora in relation with the alleged defamatory social media post made by Congress’s Supriya Shrinate against actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

Reportedly, BJP candidate from New Delhi Bansuri Swaraj had given a complaint to the LG seeking probe and registration of an FIR against Shrinate for outraging the modesty of a woman. Subsequently, the Delhi LG has forwarded the complaint to the Delhi Police Commissioner, directing a scientific investigation in the matter and initiation of legal action, if necessary.

Reports said that the Delhi Police will also investigate who was behind the said social media post and whose mobile phone was used for the purpose. A major controversy erupted on Monday after an objectionable post from Supriya Shrinate’s social media handle against Kangana Ranaut, who has been announced as the BJP candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi.

Responding to the remarks, Kangana Ranaut said that they must free the daughters from the shackles of prejudices and must rise above the curiosity about their body parts. She added that people must refrain from using sex workers’ challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur. She concluded that every woman deserves her dignity. As the controversy intensified, the Congress leader asserted that someone else had posted the objectionable content from her handle. 

Meanwhile, the Election Commission on Wednesday issued a show cause notice to Congress leader Supriya Shrinate for her derogatory remarks against Kangana Ranaut. The Election Commission observed that the remarks are undignified and in a bad taste. The election body asked the Congress leader to respond to the commission by Friday. In the notice, the Election Commission stated that the statements made by the leader is prima facie violative of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) being in force ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
