Patna,(BiharTimes): Independent MLA Dilip Verma on Friday said that the ruling Janata Dal (United) in Bihar offered him a cabinet berth in the Nitish ministry if he agrees to support it.

“There is a possibility that the JD(U) will split with the BJP in Bihar over Narendra Modi’s recent elevation in the party. They called me about joining the party and said that I would get the ministry of my choice and then I will get the party’s MP ticket,” Dilip Verma told CNN-IBN.

Interestingly, Verma was formerly with the BJP and its MLA too in the past. He had also floated his Champaran Vikas Party.
