New Delhi: Amid speculations that the Janata Dal (United) will get four Cabinet berths at the Centre, the name of only party national president RCP Singh has been included in Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Cabinet.


This comes as reports earlier suggested the JD (U) MPs Lalan Singh, Santosh Kumar Kushwaha, Ramnath Thakur and Chandeshwar Prasad are likely to be included in the Union Cabinet.


Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had earlier on Tuesday confirmed the JD (U) will join the Union Cabinet.
