Ranchi: Jharkhand Health Minister Hemendra Pratap Sahi resigned from his post on Thursday to facilitate his legislator son Bhanu Pratap Sahi's entry into the cabinet.
Bhanu Pratap, now out of jail, will take oath as cabinet minister at 7 pm on Thursday.
He had been facing arrest warrants in three cases. When his name was put up for a minister's post last year, Governor Syed Sibte Razi raised objections.
To placate him, his father was made a cabinet minister though Hemendra Pratap was not a legislator.
Bhanu Pratap surrendered in the Garwah district court last year and got bail in all three cases last month.
He is an expelled legislator of the Forward Bloc. He had supported Madhu Koda in forming the Jharkhand government in September 2006.
