Why did Uttar Pradesh minister's brother resign?

Arun Dwiwedi, brother of UP minister for basic education Satish Dwiwedi, has resigned from the post of assistant professor in the Siddhartha University in Siddhartha Nagar.

Dwiwedi resigned from his post on Wednesday citing 'personal reasons' and vice chancellor Dr Surendra Dubey said he had accepted the same.

The resignation is seen as an attempt to quell the furore over the issue.

It may be recalled that a controversy had erupted over the appointment of Arun Dwiwedi as assistant professor in the Siddhartha University.
