This article talks about Nitish Kumar’s recent swearing-in as Chief Minister of Bihar and the new government formation.
Nitish Kumar has been sworn in as the Chief Minister of Bihar again, marking his 10th term in office. The ceremony took place at 11:30 AM on a Thursday, with Governor Arif Mohammad Khan administering the oath. Alongside him, Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha took their oaths as Deputy Chief Ministers.
After the Deputy Chief Ministers, several other ministers were sworn in, including members from Nitish’s JDU party and the BJP. Among those taking the oath were Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, Vijendra Yadav, Shravan Kumar, and others. This ceremony is significant as it shows the continued political support for Nitish Kumar.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also attended this swearing-in ceremony for the first time. He arrived at Patna airport at around 11 AM and went directly to Gandhi Maidan by helicopter. This event is particularly notable as Nitish Kumar has been Chief Minister five times since Modi took office in 2014.
On the previous day, Nitish Kumar met with the Governor and officially staked his claim to form the government. He submitted letters of support from 202 NDA MLAs and resigned from his previous position. Consequently, the Governor dissolved the 17th Bihar Assembly, allowing the formation of the new government.
The political scenario in Bihar has been quite active. Nitish Kumar was elected as leader in the JDU’s meeting, while Samrat Chaudhary was chosen as the leader in the BJP’s meeting. The new government formation indicates a significant shift in Bihar’s political landscape, with ongoing discussions about future governance.
