JD(U) leaders red-faced over climbdown on Cabinet berths

Having held out for proportional numbers in 2019, Nitish has settled for just one minister
There is stunned silence in the JD(U) on the party’s climbdown from its 2019 position of refusing to join Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Council of Ministers over mere “symbolic representation”, to settling for a single berth in the latest expansion. JD(U) MP from Rajya Sabha and party chief R.C.P. Singh was sworn in as Minister for Steel on Wednesday. Party leaders are at pains to explain the reason for the embarrassing capitulation as also the choice of Mr. Singh over other, more experienced, lieutenants of Mr. Kumar.
