• Nitish Kumar's party set to secure two cabinet positions in Modi 3.0 government
• Allocation underscores the growing alliance between JD(U) and BJP
• Strategic move ahead of upcoming elections to bolster NDA's position in Bihar

In a significant development, sources reveal that Nitish Kumar's party is poised to secure two cabinet berths in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third-term government. This allocation underscores the strengthening alliance between Kumar's Janata Dal (United) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), marking a strategic move ahead of the upcoming elections.

Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, has long been a key ally of the BJP, and this decision solidifies their alliance further. The allocation of two cabinet berths to Kumar's party reflects the BJP's acknowledgment of the JD(U)'s contribution to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) coalition.
