In Nitish Kumar's New Cabinet, Tejashwi Yadav's Party Scores Big

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar expanded his cabinet today, with the biggest chunk of seats going to alliance partner Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). While a total of 31 ministers were inducted into the Bihar cabinet today, the biggest headline was the significant mark up for Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav in the government, and somewhat of a demotion for his elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav, who handled crucial portfolios like health in the 2015 - 2017 Mahagathbandhan government.
