This is the first time that Keshav has been made the Leader of the House. Although he was defeated in the 2022 assembly elections, he was made the Deputy Chief Minister and now his stature has been increased by giving him the responsibility of the Leader of the House in the Legislative Council. Although there were reports that Keshav Prasad Maurya could be made the state president of the Bharatiya Janata Party again, but after this important responsibility, this possibility has now been dashed.
