Email print 'Political untouchability' is a term that does not figure in the lexicon of Jat leader and Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Ajit Singh as seen from his past alliances with parties of all hues which have a stake in Uttar Pradesh like the Congress, BJP, SP and BSP.
Singh, who took oath today as a Cabinet Minister in the UPA government and is tipped to get the Aviation portfolio, has twice before been part of the Central government. He became a Cabinet Minister for the first time in the VP Singh government in 1989 when he served as the industry minister.
The 72-year-old MP from Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh became a Cabinet minister for the second time when he was given the Food portfolio from February 1995 to May 1996 in the Narasimha Rao government. He had merged his party with the Congress then.
