Nitish Kumar, the Bihar Chief Minister on Monday Speaking at a press conference blamed the media for blowing Janata Dal (United)'s (JD(U)) non-inclusion in the reshuffle of the Union Cabinet, out of proportion.
Nitish said, "During the reshuffle of the Cabinet, I was furious because the JD(U) was all over and was making headlines. My party's name has been dragged without any reason under all false charges. Also, the expansion of the Union Cabinet along with the NDA Government in Bihar is doing a good job. There was no need of it."
"We never thought of getting a share in the central Cabinet and were not looking forward to it," he added.
In the cabinet reshuffle yesterday there was the promotion of several ministers and the induction of new faces.
The Union Minister Piyush Goyal has been given the charge of Railway Ministry, while Nirmala Sitharaman has been assigned the charge of the Defence Ministry.
