Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar expanded his Council of Ministers on Sunday, with the inclusion of eight new Ministers from the Janata Dal (United). Speaking on BJP-JD(U) alliance after the latter party did not get more than one cabinet birth in the NDA government, the newly inducted JD(U) leader Shyam Rajak said, "National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is intact. I am glad that Nitish Kumar chose me," Neeraj Kumar added. Former Bihar unit Congress chief Ashok Chaudhary, who was inducted in the cabinet today, also instated that NDA coalition is intact. Nitish Kumar had said that they don't want a cabinet birth just for symbolic representation in the Modi government.
