The BJP made it clear that they were not open to any demand of proportional representation, especially after meeting its promise of making Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister even though his party was 32 seats down in the assembly elections.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United finally joined the Union Cabinet -- but with only one berth. The BJP made it clear that they were not open to any demand of proportional representation, especially after meeting its promise of making Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister even though his party was 32 seats down in the assembly elections. Though a section of JD(U) leaders insisted that they would accept nothing less than proportional representation, the trajectory of events became clear yesterday when Nitish Kumar spoke of "today's context" and said that he would "accept whatever the Prime Minister decides". The JD(U)'s choice for the Union cabinet post was Ramchandra Prasad Singh, who was recently made its National President. His induction now in the Union cabinet established that he is still the first choice of his boss Nitish Kumar, whom he joined as Personal Secretary during his stint as the Railway Minister.More Related News
