Danish Azad Ansari, UP's lone Muslim minister, said the welfare schemes run by the BJP are benefitting the Muslims.
His becoming a minister wasn't unexpected but a symbol of faith reposed by the party in its dedicated worker, said UP's lone Muslim minister Danish Azad Ansari on Friday.
Mr Ansari hails from Ballia and took oath as a minister of state in the new BJP-led government in Uttar Pradesh on Friday.
Currently, Mr Ansari is not a member of either house of the UP legislature.
"I thank the party for giving an ordinary party worker like me such a big opportunity. I thank them for this. I would discharge my duties with full honesty," he told news agency PTI.
