It is worth noting that Tarkishore Prasad has become a minister for the first time and has been given important ministries like Finance, Commerce, Environment, Forest and Climate, Information Technology, Disaster Management, Urban Development, and Housing Department. However, questions are raised on Tarkishore Prasad’s educational qualification who has only studied till 12th.

Now 12th pass, Tarkishore Prasad was given important portfolios like finance, commerce. RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari asked what has happened to those who questioned Tejashwi Yadav since such an important ministry has been given to a less-educated leader who became a minister for the first time.
Mevalal Chaudhary, who was made the education minister in Nitish’s cabinet, has also surrounded by controversies. Mevalal Chaudhary became a JDU MLA for the first time in 2015 while he was serving as a teacher earlier. In 2012, assistant professor and junior scientists were reinstated at Sabour Agricultural University as their vice-chancellor, it is said that the appointment was rigged. In the appointment of assistant professors and other posts in Sabour Agricultural University, the then Vice-Chancellor Mevalal was accused of giving jobs to 18 in Bihar and 87 in other states. A case of a recruitment scam at the Agricultural University was registered in Sabour police station in 2017. However, he got anticipatory bail from the court in this case and till now a charge sheet has not been filed against him in the court.
