Pralhad Joshi steps into education hot seat
Pralhad Joshi appointed Union education minister after Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation amid student protests.
Joshi is a two-time Union minister who previously handled law and parliamentary affairs.
He also holds charge of new and renewable energy (MNRE) and consumer affairs, food and public distribution.
BJP MPs view Joshi as a possible stop-gap arrangement until a cabinet reshuffle.
Joshi won the 2024 Dharwad election by 97,324 votes, despite claims of anti-incumbency.
