RJD was surprised by the strategy of Congress...
At the time of cabinet expansion in august 2022, congress was given 2 posts. According to informed sources, at that time the RJD was hopeful that the congress would include one of the two Brahmin data-faces in the cabinet from its quota.
The congress had also assured RJD about this, but at the last moment the party changed its strategy. Instead of a Brahmin, the congress inducted a Muslim and a Dalit into the cabinet from its quota.
Not a single Brahmin minister was made in Nitish cabinet from RJD and congress quota, after which questions were raised on Tejashwi's A to Z campaign. Not only this, congress announced to get 4 ministerial posts at that time itself.
