Patna,(BiharTimes): The state president of the Janata Dal (United) Vashistha Narayan Singh conceded on Tuesday that the gap between the chief minister and some of his ministers are growing and Jitan Ram Manjhi, as the leader of the team, should bridge it at the earliest.

In a statement he said that there are some differences, which should be resolved soon. After all the cabinet is of the chief minister and it is upto him to take initiative. Thus Singh made it clear that it is not upto the party but the chief minister and ministers to sort out the problems.He once again asked all the leaders of the party that they should restrain themselves from giving public statements, which is not in the interest of the party.

On Union water resources minister Uma Bharati’s praise for Jitan Ram Manjhi the JD(U) state chief said that there are several individuals in his party who deserves praise. “We would feel happy if BJP leaders praises all of them. But, they are not doing so and praising only Manjhi.
