The Bihar-based party is expected to endorse the proposal to join the NDA in its national executive meeting in Patna on 19 August, after which it is likely to join the Narendra Modi cabinet. Asked if the party would join the Modi cabinet, a JD(U) leader said such a decision would be “natural”. “When we are together in government in Bihar, it is only natural that our party joins the Union government,” he said.
