Calling it a “final decision”, Janata Dal (United), a crucial ally of BJP in Bihar, on Sunday decided that the party will never be a part of the NDA-led Union Cabinet. JD(U) secretary general and chief spokesperson K C Tyagi told ANI that the proposal of one Cabinet berth given by the NDA was unacceptable by the party, hence, they took this decision. “The proposal that was given was unacceptable to the JD(U), therefore we have decided that in future also JD(U) will never be a part of the NDA-led Union Cabinet, this is our final decision,” Tyagi asserted. We informed them that we do not need it (Cabinet berth),” JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar had said after a meeting of party leaders on May 30. The Bihar Cabinet saw an addition of eight new ministers today, all of them from Nitish Kumar’s party.
