A major political development is emerging from Bihar regarding the cabinet expansion of the NDA government. According to sources, several leaders from JD(U) have reportedly received calls confirming their induction into the new ministry. Most notably, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar is also expected to take oath as a minister, as per unconfirmed reports. Other JD(U) leaders such as Shravan Kumar, Ashok Chaudhary, Shweta Gupta, Bhagwan Singh Kushwaha, Damodar Raut, Sheila Mandal, Ratnesh Sada, Lacey Singh, Madan Saini, Sunil Kumar, and Jama Khan are also said to have been contacted for ministerial roles. Reports suggest that around 13 JD(U) leaders have received confirmation calls so far. However, this information is still based on sources and has not been officially confirmed by the government. The cabinet expansion process appears to be in its final stages, with key portfolios expected to be allocated soon. The development has created significant political buzz within Bihar’s ruling alliance as the new government structure takes shape.
