3 Days After Taking Oath, Bihar Education Minister Resigns
Three days after taking charge as Bihar's new Education Minister, JD(U) MLA Mewalal Choudhury quit his position on November 19 owing to corruption allegations. Mewalal was earlier suspended from the Vice-Chancellor post of the Bihar Agriculture University in 2017 over a scam in job appointments. However, he stated that the allegations were not true as no charge-sheet was filed or a court had ordered against him.
