A brief biography

As in 2019, May

May 31, 2019: The Times of India

Born: Aug 30, 1954

Experience: 4 Rajya Sabha Terms

He is a familiar figure from television, a combative spokesperson for BJP. But the politician from Bihar also handled his other assignment, as Narendra Modi’s cabinet minister, first in the communications ministry and then in the law and justice ministry, with equanimity.

After four terms as Rajya Sabha member, this year he contested the Lok Sabha polls against Shatrughan Sinha, who deserted BJP and was nominated by Congress from Patna Sahib. He scored a huge victory and earned another tenure as Modi’s minister. Beginning as an anti-Indira Gandhi student activist in the 1970s, he became associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh and ABVP during his youth.

Since 1995, he has been an articulate member of the BJP national executive and won four times a seat in the Rajya Sabha, where he ably worked the aisles to ensure support for the government in a House where BJP lacked a majority.

A senior advocate of the Supreme Court, the 64-year-old can be recalled as the main lawyer in the fodder case against RJD president Lalu Yadav.
