Maha Sri Dato Sri Paduka Mohammad Mridul Amin is retired Vishwamitran politician and former royal who has been the first Rajpramukh of Basistha reigning between 8 June 2020 till the abolition of the state monarchy on 11 September 2021. Prior to his installation as the first ruler of the state, he has served as the Governor of Purvanchal and has been a minister in the central cabinet for a long time. He is the first minority politician to serve on a senior position in the nation.

After a hiatus for more than a year and half, he was appointed to serve as the Governor of Madhya Prant on 17 March 2023 by Rashtradhyaksh Varuna Sriraya following the position's re-establishment. A few months later, on 14 July, he announced his resignation as governor and was succeeded by Princess Bishakha.

Political career

Mohammad Mridul Amin is one of the senior-most politicians of the nation, who has served on wide range of positions both at national and state level. He first became the Minister of Finance on 6 December 2015 and served until the dissolution of the ministry on 11 April 2016. Under the premiership of Varuna Sriraya which took office on 11 April 2016, he was appointed as Union Cabinet Minister for Child Welfare, and remained in that position till 10 July 2016. In a cabinet reshuffle held on 10 July 2016, he lost his cabinet berth and was appointed as Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Parliamentary Affairs which he continued to hold until his resignation from the Union Council of Ministers on 18 September 2016.

He contested the 2016 March Vice-Presidential election against Bishnu Chetry and Arnab Sil and also the 2016 May Vice-Presidential election against Arnab Sil, but was unsuccessful in both the attempts.

With the creation of the state of Uttaranchal, he was appointed to serve as the first Chief Minister of the state which he held from 18 September 2016 until 12 April 2017. When Sarala Baishya became the Prime Minister, he was called in to be a part of the Union Council of Ministers and was appointed as the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Welfare, with the additional duties of the Minister of State in the ministries of Parliamentary Affairs and Social Justice.
