4:1 or 5:1? J'khand deadlock over cabinet slots formula continues

Earlier, the alliance partners were working on a formula of one ministerial post for every four MLAs. The formula is unlikely to work this time.

In 2019, the grand-alliance won 47 seats and ministerial positions were distributed on the 4:1 formula. The JMM got seven berths, including the CM, Congress 4 and RJD one.
