New Delhi: Clearing the air over how many JDU leaders will get the Cabinet role, Janata Dal (United) National President RCP Singh on Tuesday said that it is certain that the party representatives will join the Union Cabinet but it's the prerogative of the BJP to decide who all will join the expansion. Talking to reporters he said that the time is nearing and the big picture will be clear soon.
He said that JDU leaders will join the Modi Cabinet according to BJP's decision as both the parties are running the Bihar government in alliance and nobody should have doubts over it. "Parties running state government in the alliance have better coordination and goodwill. JDU is not facing any difficulty in joining the Union Canibet," Singh said.

According to sources, the Union Cabinet reshuffle is expected to take place on July 8 and RCP Singh is certain to hold a Cabinet seat from the JDU quota in the expansion.
