The ADR analysed the worth of 28 Ministers in the Nitish Kumar government, based on their affidavits filed with the Election Commission.
Of the 31 Ministers now, the assets of Ashok Chaudhary and Janak Ram could not be analysed as they are not members of the Vidhan Sabha or Vidhan Parishad. Ram Surat Rai s affidavit is not clear and hence it too was not analysed.
