At the same time, the market of discussions and speculations has become hot in the political corridor regarding the sudden arrival of the BJP leader and meeting the Chief Minister. Actually, for the past several days, BJP ministers can be changed in the Bihar government. In such a situation, after this meeting, the discussion of preparations for reshuffle in CM Nitish Kumar’s cabinet intensified.
However, there was no clear information on the subject of the meeting of the two leaders. At the same time, on Dharmendra Pradhan’s meeting with CM Nitish, BJP says that its political meaning should not be taken out. But it is believed that there was a discussion between the two leaders regarding the President-Vice Presidential elections and the reshuffle in the Bihar cabinet. During this, Bihar Education Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary was also called and he also had a long conversation with the Union Minister. Mr. Choudhary also accompanied him to the state guest house and there also a long discussion took place between the two regarding the betterment of education in Bihar.
It is worth noting that after three VIP MLAs of Bihar joined the BJP, there is a lot of talk of reshuffle in the cabinet. Let us inform that on 16 November 2020, 14 ministers also took oath along with Nitish Kumar. In this, seven ministers were sworn in from BJP quota, five from JDU quota and one each from HAM and VIP quota. At the same time, after two and a half months, the cabinet was expanded again. During this, a total of nine BJP MLAs were made ministers. While eight people took oath as ministers from JDU quota. In this expansion, an independent Sumit Singh and Jama Khan, who won the election on BSP ticket, also got a place.
At the same time, five seats of the Council of Ministers were kept vacant. But VIP supremo Mukesh Sahni has recently been shown the way out of the Nitish cabinet. Thus a total of six seats are vacant.
