“I have come to know through media only that the JD(U) is going to join the Union Cabinet. I did not have any information in this regard,” Kumar said.
The chief minister, however, said that his party would take a decision if any such proposal comes for joining the Union Cabinet.
"But as of now, there is nothing like that (joining the cabinet)," Kumar added.
Senior BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi too said he had no information about any such proposal.
