Greetings were exchanged between the two in a cabinet meeting.
After the meeting, Singh praised the Chief Minister for his speech in the meditation camp for the counter attack on Narendra Modi.
He also commented on his speech, saying that he didn't have any second thoughts in his mind.
He wanted the party to become strong.
New challenges will be faced strongly.
The expression on the Chief Minister's face showed that he had taken Singh's speech in a positive way.
It should be noted that Singh had urged the Chief Minister to respect the activists in the meditation camp and to protect them from the alleged harassment by officials.
However, he had also said that to assert his point he was also prepared for the dissolution of the cabinet.
Though, after seeing the opinions arising from the meditation camp there was a chance that the case for putting activists into government posts will also be reconsidered.
At the camp the state JDU president, Vashisht Narayan Singh, had said that the nominations of the activists in the 20-point committee would be announced soon.
He also indicated that the list was almost ready.
Now the news is coming that Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, will have a look at the list at his level.
He will also examine whether or not the opinion of the legislators and Members of Parliament was taken into account when generating the list.
If need be the list will be revised on a large scale to give places to older and more committed activists.
The common complaint of the legislators and Members of Parliament is that their opinion was not considered while generating the list.
Most of the people who have come from other parties are on the list but a significant number of workers, active since the Samata Party period, have been left off.
Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, while others create a perfect life by their hard work and people take inspiration from them.
One of the such personalities is the late Dhirubhai Ambani.
The third son of Hirachand Govaradhandas Ambani, who worked as a teacher in a school in Coravada, a small village in Gujarat, Dhirubhai Ambani was born on December 28th, 1932.
Dhirubhai was the third of five brothers and sisters.
The five children were Ramanikalala, Natwar Lal, Dhirubhai and two sisters, Trilochana and Jasumati.
Due to financial constraints Dhirubhai had to drop out after high school.
Dhirubhai started helping in the house financially from childhood.
At that time he set up a stall selling Bhajiyas near Girnar. The income from the stall was dependent on the number of tourists going there.
Dhirubhai's first job was in 1949 at the age of 17 when he arrived on a ship called Cabota in the city of Aden, in the Yemen.
His elder brother, Raniklala, had made all the arrangements for him there, so he did not have any problem getting a job abroad.
But Dhirubhai had something else in mind.
So he returned home in 1954.
By 1955, he had landed in Mumbai with Rs 500 in his pocket, to try his luck.
And from here he started his travel business.
Dhirubhai never looked back.
His name became known not only in the country, but also abroad.
Dhirubhai Ambani bade farewell to the world on July 6th, 2002.
When he died he had Rs 62,000 crores.
Currently his sons, Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani, are looking after his empire.
Like their father, today these two brothers are at the international level of businessmen.
Who has not heard of the Ambani family today?
Dhirubhai, Kokilaben, their two sons, Mukesh and Anil Ambani, and their wives Nita Ambani and Tina Ambani.

Killing mosquitoes to prevent diseases like dengue, malaria and filariasis is going to be expensive.
The state government is proceeding to raise the tax on mosquito killing repellents, mats and liquids by up to three times.
The proposal to increase tax will be presented to the cabinet soon.
The government is struggling with a financial crisis these days and is searching for ways to do everything possible to increase revenue.
It is noteworthy that, to improve the financial health of the government, a resource committee has been formed under the chairmanship of Urban Development Minister, Mohamed Azam Khan.
According to sources, in a recently held resource committee meeting many proposals to increase the tax were rejected if the general public would be directly affected.
However, the committee has given the green flag to increase the taxes on mosquito repellents, coils, mats and liquids.
A proposal to triple the taxes has been put forward.
Currently they carry 4% VAT plus an additional 1% tax.
Now a 12.5% VAT plus a 1.5% additional tax on these items is proposed.
The government is likely to generate additional revenue of around Rs 14 crore in this way.
A proposal for a tax hike on the persimmon leaf was rejected: In fact, to increase the revenue income the commercial tax department was in favour of increasing the tax on the persimmon leaf by 14%, but the Financial Resources Committee has rejected that proposal.
The committee believes that persimmon leaf is used to make bidis that the lower-class people smoke.
Similarly, the committee rejected the proposal to increase taxes on transmission wires, etc., and electrical goods that would have pushed up the cost of electricity and would have a direct impact on the general public.
The committee also rejected the proposal for the application of a green tax on the renewal of commercial vehicles.

Jagaran Bureau, Shrinagar: The police have allegedly removed the security of the former Minister Ghulam Hasan Khan who joined Congress from the People Democratic Party.
Khan blamed the government, saying that his security has been removed for political reasons.
It may be recalled that in the year 2002 Ghulam Hasan Khan, who won the 2002 elections from Shopian on a PDP ticket, was included in the cabinet, while Mufti Mohamed Sayeed was a Chief Minister.
Ghulam Hassan Khan said he has had protection since 1996.
I live in Shopian, which is believed to be a stronghold of terrorists.
A CRPF security team under the leadership of a sub-inspector is stationed at my house.
I have also bodyguards, but all my security was suddenly withdrawn on Thursday.
As when the security team was leaving from my house I spoke to the District Deputy Commissioner and District Superintendent.
But instead of restoring security they just said that they would investigate the matter.
However, in this regard, when the Kashmir IGP, Abdul Gani Meer, was contacted he denied any knowledge of the issue and said that it was a sensitive issue.
I should check it out myself. After all, how can the protection of a former minister and senior political leader be removed?
The State Congress Chief, Prof. Safudin Soz, said that as far as he knew nothing of this kind had ever happened before.
If Hasan Khan's security has been compromised, then it is a very serious matter.
I am in Jammu now and will be coming to Kashmir in a day or two.
I will discuss this issue with the authorities concerned.
