Similarly, Ashok Chaudhary, former Bihar unit Congress chief, was a minister in JDU-RJD-Congress coalition government in 2015. He too joined the JDU later.It was earlier reported that Bihar's ministry will be expanded on Sunday with four new ministers set to take the oath of office.Chief Minister Kumar met Governor Lalji Tandon here earlier in the day.The JDU on Thursday decided to not be a part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new Cabinet, saying it would not accept the BJP's offer of only one ministerial berth."They (BJP) wanted only one person from JD(U) in the Cabinet. So, it would have been just symbolic participation. We informed them that we do not need it (Cabinet berth)," Kumar had said.The JDU chief, who later attended Modi's swearing-in ceremony, said: "It is not a big issue. We are fully in the NDA and are not upset at all. We are working together. There is no confusion."In the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, JDU won 16 seats in Bihar, while the BJP bagged 17.Despite being a part of the NDA, the party was also not part of the last Central government.The BJP, however, is sharing power in Bihar with its leader Sushil Kumar Modi as the state's Deputy Chief Minister.( With inputs from ANI )
