Nitish to offer BJP with a single seat in his Cabinet

Right after the new government formation, Nitish Kumar – Bihar state CM, announced the expansion of his Cabinet. He announced to offer eight seats to his Ministers in the new Cabinet. The offer was turned down by JD(U) to join BJP as only one seat was offered to their party in the new government.

The major announcement was officially made by Nitish Kumar regarding not participating in the Modi’s government. This decision was made by the party leaders in JD(U) as only one seat was allotted to their leaders in the new cabinet.

The JD(U) leaders made this announcement official three days after the decision was taken by Nitish Kumar. With this in effect, the CM also announced to expand his cabinet further. As per new statements, Nitish has announced to offer eight seats to his Ministers.

Even after BJP had officially turned down this offer, still statements regarding differences between the Party leaders have not yet been made by Nitish Kumar. As his part, he mentioned that there were no differences between the leaders of the two parties, even after the major changes made in the cabinet.

He also added that in the formation of the new cabinet, the BJP leaders had shown no such interest to include more seats for their party in Bihar state cabinet.

Sources have confirmed that eight seats had been allotted for JD(U) quota by party leaders to include in the government formation in the state. They also added that vacancies for all other joint allied groups were in fact limited in the state.

This is what forced CM to include all seats from the JD(U) to fill up all vacancies. This move had not left them with a dispute against the allied BJP party.
