Ministers in Bihar seem to have a penchant for allowing the presence of their close relatives at official events.
The new 'Mahagathbandhan' government in the State is embarrassed over photographs, clicked a few days ago, in which Minister for Environment, Forestry and Climate Change Tej Pratap Yadav is seen along with his brother-in-law at a meeting with department officials.
According to department sources who did not wish to be named, Shailesh Kumar, who is married to Mr. Yadav’s eldest sister Misa Bharti, a Rajya Sabha MP herself, had come to the office on Wednesday to congratulate his wife’s younger brother upon securing a Cabinet berth.
