The Centre on Thursday shifted Union Minister of State for Law and Justice Satya Pal Singh Baghel to the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, hours after Kiren Rijiju was moved from the law ministry.
This comes after Arjun Ram Meghwal was made the Minister of State with Independent charge of the Ministry of Law and Justice.
According to convention, a ministry headed by a Minister of State with independent charge does not have a deputy. A Rashtrapati Bhavan communique stated that President Droupadi Murmu, as advised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been pleased to direct that “Prof S P Singh Baghel, Minister of State be assigned as Minister of State in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in place of Minister of State in the Ministry of Law and Justice”.
