Satish Chandra Dubey, who is considered a strong Brahmin leader of the BJP in Bihar and voice of sugarcane farmers, was inducted into the central government as a minister of state.
Dubey, currently a Rajya Sabha MP who rose to prominence as a farm activist fighting for the welfare of sugarcane farmers in the Champaran region, helped the NDA get votes from the upper caste community in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls.
He had represented the Valmiki Nagar seat between 2014 and 2019.
