Bhopal, July 15: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has reassumed control of the Animal Husbandry and Dairy Department from State Minister (Independent Charge) Lakhan Patel. Patel will now solely oversee the Anand Department.
According to a notification issued by the state government, Chief Minister Yadav will retain the responsibilities of the Animal Husbandry Department. Recently, Lakhan Patel has been in the spotlight for various reasons. However, the government has not provided any official comments regarding the reasons for this departmental change.
When approached by the media, Lakhan Patel stated that he was unaware of the situation. He emphasized that the allocation and modification of departments is the prerogative of the Chief Minister.
Discussions about a cabinet expansion in the state have been ongoing for some time. Consequently, this change is being linked to potential ministerial reshuffles.
