The ministers of the new government will take oath on 16 August in Bihar.

The new cabinet of the Nitish government is to be expanded on Tuesday. The exercise has started in this regard. Even within the Congress, the clouds of doubt have now dissipated. According to the information that is coming, Rajesh Kumar and Shakeel Ahmed will become ministers from Congress quota in the new cabinet of Nitish government. Although it has not been officially announced yet. But, sources say that Congress has sent the names of these two to CM Nitish Kumar. Let us inform that in the new government, three people have to become ministers from the Congress quota. But, in the meantime, on the day of Independence Day, there was a tussle between the workers and the Bihar Congress in-charge Bhakta Charan Das over the number of ministerial posts in the Congress headquarters Sadaqat Ashram.

In fact, Congress workers and senior leaders were upset with the Congress getting only three seats in the new government of the Grand Alliance. Former General Secretary of Bihar Congress Mohammad Ghiyasuddin Khan said that Congress should get at least 5 seats in the new cabinet. Regarding Hum party, he said that he is being given one minister post on 4 MLAs, then why three on 19 for Congress? The manner in which Congress leaders Ghiyasuddin Khan and Aparna Khan protested created a ruckus in the Congress headquarters. Both these leaders expressed their objection openly in the media and also made derogatory remarks about Bhakta Charan Das, in-charge of Bihar Pradesh Congress.

Let us inform that the cabinet of the new government of the Grand Alliance under the leadership of Nitish Kumar in Bihar is to be expanded on Tuesday. RJD chief Lalu Prasad is also coming from Delhi to attend it.
