Patna,(BiharTimes): Another dinner was hosted by a minister close to the Nitish Kumar camp.Cooperative minister Jay Kumar Singh on Tuesday night organized the dinner on the occasion of the birthday of his son.

But this time chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and agriculture minister Narendra Singh also attended it rhey both came after former chief minister Nitish Kumar left the function. The only difference rgis time was that while the two left after having their dinner the ministers loyal to the Nitish Kumar camp held a close-door meeting for about 45 minutes to chalk out their future course of action.

Analysts are of the view that through the dinner diplomacy the ministers of the Nitish camp want to encircle Manjhi and continue to build pressure on him so that he could toe the line of former chief minister rather than work independently.

Last week food minister Shyam Rajak threw a dinner party, which was attended by 21 ministers of the Manjhi cabinet.
