Ashok Lahiri Named New Vice-Chairman of Niti Aayog, Gobardhan Das as Member
Former chief economic adviser Ashok Lahiri is set to become the new vice-chairman of Niti Aayog, replacing Suman Bery. Gobardhan Das, director of IISER Bhopal and a former JNU professor, will be nominated as a member. Both are BJP candidates, with Lahiri an MLA from Balurghat and Das a Dalit who faced attacks from TMC cadres after the 2021 Bengal elections. The appointments coincide with the second round of West Bengal voting and are viewed as an electoral overture.
