New Delhi, Feb. 26 -- Terming the Bihar cabinet expansion a "diversion tactic", Congress leader Supriya Shrinate on Wednesday said that there is a "battle for supremacy" between Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal (United).

"There is a battle for supremacy between BJP and JDU... this cabinet expansion is just a diversion tactic because in Bihar a survey happened and some hard truths came out...What work has Nitish Kumar's government done for the welfare of backward, Dalits and tribals in Bihar?... BJP and its allies run all these distraction campaigns," Supriya Shrinate told ANI.

Earlier today, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar expanded his cabinet with seven Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs taking oath as ministers.
