Union minister Pralhad Joshi, who has been given additional charge of the Ministry of Education following the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, is counted among the BJP’s most experienced and trusted leaders, sources said.
Pradhan stepped down amid protests over exam paper leaks.
Joshi is currently Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, as well as Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy. In his previous tenure, he was the Coal, Mines and Parliamentary Affairs Minister.
