Railroad Minister Piyush Goyal was on Friday given extra charge of the Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution service, a portfolio held by the late Lok Janshakti Party pioneer Ram Vilas Paswan.
A Rashtrapati Bhavan dispatch on Friday said President Ram Nath Kovind, on the counsel of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, coordinated that Goyal be appointed the service notwithstanding his current portfolios.
Paswan, one of India's most noticeable Dalit pioneers and eight-time Lok Sabha MP passed on Thursday at 74 years old. He was essential for a few BJP-drove NDA and Congress-drove UPA governments.
Law and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad will speak to the focal government and the association gathering of clergymen at the memorial service of the veteran chief in Patna on Saturday.
