Giriraj Singh takes charge at MSME ministry

NEW DELHI: Giriraj Singh assumed charge as the Minister of State for Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises ( MSME) today.

Welcoming him, Cabinet Minister for MSME Kalraj Mishra said he was confident that the ministry will greatly benefit from the experience of Singh who had been a Minister in the Bihar Government.

Singh, a 62-year-old BJP MP from Nawada, is also one of the early Modi loyalists in the party and often took on the then Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar despite being a member of his Cabinet.
