           Patna, (Bihar Times): After the BJP it is the turn of
      the Janata Dal (United)   to face crisis-like situation
      following the first ever cabinet expansion by   the
      chief minister, Nitish Kumar. 
 Monazir Hassan, till last week the   Building
      Construction Minister of Bihar, resigned from the post
      of the   state Janata Dal (United) vice-president on
      Thursday.
 
 Surprisingly he   cited the plight and deplorable
      condition of the Muslims as the reason for   his
      resignation. He said that no government had ever taken
      any step for   the uplift of the community.
 
 Monazir, who hails from Munger, also served   in the
      Rabri cabinet before switching over to the Janata Dal
      (United).   Till recently he was considered to be in the
      good book of Nitish Kumar.
