New Delhi: It was an emotional moment for Sachin Pilot, who made his debut as Minister in the Manmohan Singh team, when portfolios were announced on Thursday night.
He was made Minister of State in the Ministry of Communications and Technology, a portfolio once held by his father, Rajesh pilot.
Rajesh Pilot held the post with independent charge in the Narasimha Rao government in the early 1990s.
“I am happy to be in the same department which was once held by my father,” said Mr. Sachin Pilot, who was inducted into the Congress on the birth anniversary of his father two years after he died in a car accident near Jaipur on June 11, 2000.
Rajesh Pilot was credited with working to reach the “communication revolution” to rural masses and he ensured that every village had an STD/ISD facility.
