New Delhi / Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central Cabinet may undergo a reshuffle in the coming weeks. Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) or JD(U) could get one cabinet post and one Minister of State (MoS) – junior minister with an overseeing Cabinet Minister – portfolio, top sources in the party told Zee News.
Sources further said Sharad Pawar and Nitish Kumar could be included in the Cabinet.
Neither Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) nor JD(U) have confirmed the development.
