Irony got the better of Bihar’s education minister. A video of recently sworn in Education minister of Bihar Mewalal Chaudhary has gone viral on social media. In the video, Mewalal can be seen saluting with one hand and reading the national anthem ‘incorrectly’ from a paper held in another hand.
भ्रष्टाचार के अनेक मामलों के आरोपी बिहार के शिक्षा मंत्री मेवालाल चौधरी को राष्ट्रगान भी नहीं आता।

The video has been tweeted by the Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam raising doubts over the recently elected NDA government.
ये बिहार के नए शिक्षा मंत्री हैं।
कहते हैं, ये जनाब पहले किसी विश्वविद्यालय के वाइस चांसलर थे।
राष्ट्रगान भी नहीं गा पाते।
भ्रष्टाचार के संगीन आरोप इन पर है,सो अलग।

He is the new Education Minister of Bihar. It is being said that he was the Vice Chancellor of a university earlier. He is unable to sing national anthem. He has also charges of corruption against him. Who will wash away these sins of Indian democracy?, tweeted Sanjay Nirupam.
Earlier, the Mewalal Choudhary came under attack from the Opposition over a corruption case against him.
The corruption allegations are related to the irregularities in appointments to posts of assistant professor and junior scientist. The allegations were revealed in 2017 when he was the vice-chancellor of Bhagalpur Agriculture University.
