Yadav known as it a courtesy assembly following Singh’s elevation as JD(U) president. “We had come to congratulate RCP Singh… The Nitish Kumar-led NDA government has started a Covid-19 vaccination drive. It was also part of our manifesto to vaccinate all 12 crore people of Bihar,” he mentioned.
BJP sources hinted that cabinet enlargement and MLCs’ nomination might happen quickly. “There could be 10 ministers from BJP and seven from JD(U). There is no call yet on giving additional ministerial berths to HAM(S) and VIP,” a celebration supply mentioned.
After the assembly, Singh, responding to a question in regards to the cabinet enlargement, “These are non-issues. We would sit together and sort it out. In any case, it is at the discretion of the CM to expand his cabinet.”
Meanwhile, the opposition RJD took a dig on the improvement, with its chief Shakti Singh Yadav saying, “BJP is showing its nervousness with JD(U) asserting itself. But the NDA government remains unstable.”
Asked about demanding yet one more cabinet berth, former CM and HAM(S) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi mentioned, “If there can be two deputy CMs from BJP, why cannot there be two ministers each from HAM(S) and VIP?”
