Apart from Hussain, JD(U) leaders Sanjay Kumar Jha, Shravan Kumar, Lesi Singh and Madan Sahni, and BJP's Pramod Kumar were also sworn in, in the much-awaited cabinet expansion.
JD(U) has demanded two berths in the Union cabinet & as many MoS positions. In 2019, Nitish had rejected BJP’s offer of ‘symbolic representation’ in the Union cabinet.
Days after cabinet expansion, about a dozen MLAs claim Yediyurappa was 'blackmailed with a sleazy CD'. Karnataka CM says rebel MLAs can take issue up with BJP high command.
BJP leaders say the high command isn’t accelerating the process of cabinet expansion in Bihar and Karnataka as there’s no imminent election in the states.
Two Scindia loyalists have been re-inducted into the MP cabinet after bypolls, but 4 berths, including 3 held by ex-Congress MLAs who lost, have been left vacant.
Opposition says Nitish is scared of ally BJP, but JD(U) says it’s not necessary to hold weekly cabinet meetings & cabinet expansion will happen after due consultations.
