Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav expanded his Cabinet today after a gap of almost three months by inducting controversial Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya as a minister.
Raja Bhaiya, who received a clean chit from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the murder of Kunda Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Zia-ul-Haq, took oath at Raj Bhavan function here.
The independent MLA, who had to resign in March this year after he was named in the FIR by slain cop's wife Parveen Azad, had earlier after receiving a clean chit from the CBI, said that he had been framed in the conspiracy.
Akhilesh Yadav, who was also present at the oath-taking ceremony, had expanded his Cabinet last on July 18.
