JD(U) Lobbying For Berth In Modi Cabinet Amid Rumours Of Possible Reshuffle: Report

JD(U) national president RCP Singh has said that his party should get a ‘respectable share’ of power in the central government as it is a part of the BJP-led NDA, amid rumours of a possible reshuffle in the Union Cabinet in the near future.

Despite having 16 MPs in the Lok Sabha, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led party has refrained from being a part of the NDA government at the centre.

However, that stance seems to be gradually taking a turn with PM Modi looking set to reportedly induct certain new faces in his cabinet.

Probed about the JD(U) lobbying for a place in the central government, Singh added, “Where is the question of asking for it? It is about understanding (between alliance partners). It has to be natural.”

On the other hand, senior journalist Aman Sharma also tweeted on Sunday that the JD(U) is seeking berths in the Union Cabinet for both RCP Singh and Rajiv Ranjan Singh, who represents the Munger constituency in the Lok Sabha.
