Cabinet Reshuffle: Last evening, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had said the JDU would join the government and accept whatever it was offered.
Hours before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet reshuffle, Bihar ally Nitish Kumar's party has once again raised an old demand. A top Janata Dal United leader said today the party will not accept anything less than four slots in the cabinet, going by the principle of proportional representation. Last evening, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had said the JDU would join the government and accept whatever it was offered. However, party sources contradicted that apparent climb-down. "If the JDU gets proportional representation in the Modi cabinet, only then will we join the government," said a JDU leader.More Related News
