Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar had a meeting with Governor Rajendra Viswanath Arlekar at the Raj Bhawan in Patna on June 28.
Mr. Kumar’s visit triggered speculations about Cabinet expansion in the State as the Congress party has been demanding two more berths in the Cabinet. Congress has 19 MLAs in the 243-member State Assembly.
Recently, when Santosh Kumar Suman, son of Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi resigned from the Cabinet, JD(U) MLA from Sonbarsa in Saharsa district, Ratnesh Sada, took oath as Minister within 72 hours.
