Gandhi Maidan, which once echoed with Jayaprakash Narayan’s iconic call “Singhasan khali karo, ki janta aati hai,” is once again at the center of Bihar’s political stage.This oath ceremony marks Nitish Kumar’s return as Chief Minister, with Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Sinha set to take oath as Deputy Chief Ministers. Senior BJP and JDU leaders have already arrived to review the grand arrangements. Massive crowds, especially large groups of women, are gathering at the venue dressed in festive attire, reflecting their crucial role in recent elections. With Bihar allowed 36 ministers, the first phase is expected to include around 20–22 ministers from BJP, JDU, LJP, HAM, and RLM. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also attend, making this a significant moment for the NDA in Bihar.
