Former Chief Secretary Ashok Kumar Singh was on Monday sworn-in as the Chief Information Commissioner of Bihar amid visible signs of infighting between the two camps of the ruling JD(U) in the programme too. Singh was administered the oath of office by Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi at a function held at the Raj Bhawan here.
Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, Speaker Uday Narayan Chaudhary, Deputy Speaker Amrendra Pratap Singh, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh and Rural Development Minister Nitish Mishra were present among others. Meanwhile, the sharp division in the JD(U) between Manjhi and Nitish camps came to the fore at the function when the Speaker did not shake hands with Manjhi who extended his hands towards Chaudhury while taking his seat.
