Bihar is set to witness a major political shift in the coming days as discussions within the NDA have reached a crucial stage. Following Nitish Kumar’s resignation from the Legislative Council, the path for a new leadership structure in the state is being cleared. The formation of the new government is expected to be completed by April 15, immediately after the end of the Kharmaas period. Nitish Kumar will continue to serve as the Chief Minister until April 10, the day he is scheduled to take his oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha.

What is the timeline for the new government formation?
The transition of power in Bihar is planned according to specific dates and religious considerations. The NDA leadership is waiting for the auspicious period after Kharmaas to finalize the cabinet. Here are the important dates regarding this development:
- Nitish Kumar will remain Chief Minister until April 10
- He is scheduled to take oath as a Rajya Sabha member on April 10
- The new government will likely be formed between April 11 and April 15
- Discussions are currently underway to finalize the ministerial names
Expected changes in the Bihar cabinet structure
According to the ongoing discussions within the National Democratic Alliance, the power-sharing formula between the BJP and JDU is being redefined. Unlike the previous arrangements, the BJP is expected to hold the Chief Minister post this time. To maintain the balance within the alliance, the JDU will likely be given two Deputy Chief Minister positions. This change comes after Nitish Kumar decided to move to central politics via the Rajya Sabha. The official announcement regarding the specific names for these positions is expected to come out after the final round of meetings between the top leadership of both parties.
