Congress MLA KN Tripathi will be the new minister in the Hemant Soren government, in place of Chandra Sekhar Dubey who was dismissed from the Cabinet yesterday.
"K N Tripathi will fill up the berth," Congress leader Ajay Rai said, quoting PCC president Sukhdeo Bhagat.
Soren had yesterday dismissed Dubey, who held the Rural Development portfolio, from the Cabinet apparently for levelling corruption charges against him recently.
