Who is Deepak Prakash?

Although his political journey is not very long, his family background is strong. He is the son of RLM supremo and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha. He has been made a minister from RLMO quota in Nitish government.

The most important thing is that Deepak is not a member of any house, neither the Assembly nor the Legislative Council. Therefore, he will have to become MLC or MLA within six months. It is believed that he can be sent to the MLC seat vacated by Samrat Chaudhary.
