Tokhan Sahu: New Face in Modi's Cabinet

Tokhan Sahu, a first-time MP from Chhattisgarh, joins the ranks of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's council of ministers. Reflecting the BJP's consistent performance in the region, Sahu took oath as Union Minister of State, surpassing seasoned politicians. His inclusion is seen as a significant move for the state's representation.

In a notable political development, Tokhan Sahu, a first-time Member of Parliament from Chhattisgarh, has been inducted into Prime Minister Narendra Modi's council of ministers. Sahu's admission as a Union Minister of State underscores the BJP's enduring strength in the region.

Sahu, who secured the Bilaspur Lok Sabha seat in the recent elections, took his oath on Sunday. His appointment is reminiscent of the BJP's previous central government, which also ensured representation from Chhattisgarh.

The decision to include Sahu, a 55-year-old member of the Other Backward Caste (OBC), came as a surprise to many, surpassing expectations that senior figures such as Brijmohan Agrawal, Vijay Baghel, and Santosh Pandey might be selected.
