Ranchi, 16 February (HS). Champai Soren government in Jharkhand expanded the cabinet on Friday. A total of eight MLAs took oath as ministers. There are two new faces among them. Only the remaining six old MLAs have been made ministers. Basant Soren, Baidyanath Ram and Deepak Birua were given place in the cabinet. Their names were also sent to Raj Bhavan but later in view of the uproar by Congress MLAs, Baidyanath Ram's name was removed from the list.
