“I do not know why his Delhi tour is being linked to the proposed Cabinet reshuffle,” said Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan, one of the closest aides of Nitish Kumar.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday left for the national capital, purportedly for medical reasons, though speculations ran rife that bargaining a decent share in the Union Cabinet was also on the agenda of the JD(U) de-facto leader. The JD(U) has been a BJP ally for close to three decades, barring a hiatus in 2013-2017. Mr. Kumar, who had himself served in the Cabinet headed by late Atal Bihari Vajpayee, turned down the offer of the saffron party of a “token representation” to all alliance partners after the 2019 Lok Sabha polls which saw Prime Minister Narendra Modi steering the BJP to a thumping majority.
