SRINAGAR: JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar is set to be sworn in as Bihar Chief Minister for a record 10th term on Thursday, following the NDA’s decisive victory in the state assembly elections.
Preparations for the ceremony at Patna’s historic Gandhi Maidan are in the final stages, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and several senior NDA leaders expected to attend. Elaborate security arrangements have been put in place, with over three lakh people anticipated at the event.
Kumar resigned as the outgoing Chief Minister to Governor Arif Mohammad Khan on Wednesday. The new Bihar Cabinet is expected to comprise 30 ministers, with 16 from the BJP and 14 from JD(U), including Kumar himself.
