Perhaps after former minister Sanjay Kumar Jha is made the rajya sabha candidate, an upper caste face may be included as his alternative. It is believed that through cabinet expansion, all the parties included in nda will definitely take care of regional, social and political equations. Talking about bjp quota, many new faces from bjp can get a place in the cabinet. Many young faces are also involved in this race. However, it is considered certain that Shahnawaz Hussain and Nitin Naveen will get a place among the old faces.

Due to delay in cabinet expansion, RJD has now started raising questions on the government. RJD's chief spokesperson shakti Singh Yadav says that development work in bihar is being affected due to non-expansion of the cabinet, but no people from the ruling party are able to speak and are talking about a 17-month inquiry.
