Patna (Bihar), May 31 (ANI): A day after the Janata Dal (United) decided against nominating Union steel minister RCP Singh for the Rajya Sabha elections, the minister said on May 30 that he would consult Prime Minister Narendra Modi about continuing in this current responsibility. Addressing the mediapersons, he said, “I will meet PM Modi soon. My tenure as a Rajya Sabha member will get over on July 6. The party has given me this responsibility till July, but Prime Minister Modi will decide if I continue as a minister.” “JD(U) was invited (in cabinet berth) is more than enough. How can you dream of this (Nitish Kumar as a PM candidate) with 16 MPs? You need at least 273 MPs to fulfill your aspiration,” he added.
