Ranchi, Nov 27 (UNI) State BJP spokesperson Pratul Shah deo on Friday attacked the government over the present size of Hemant Soren cabinet.
Pratul said that when Hemant Soren was the leader of the opposition he used to say that the 11 member cabinet of Raghubar Government was not as per the constitutional norms and on numerous occasions both inside the assembly and outside he had said that it was important to have 12 cabinet ministers.
