After the Bihar Chief Minister’s oath ceremony concluded, PM Narendra Modi congratulated Nitish Kumar on becoming Chief Minister for a record 10th time, calling him an experienced administrator. The Prime Minister said that the people of Bihar have shown clear trust in the BJP-led NDA, which secured 202 seats, while the Mahagathbandhan managed to win only 35 seats, making the poll verdict unexpected for both blocs. He added that the mandate reflects the people’s confidence in Nitish Kumar’s new government, which is expected to focus on development, good governance, and the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
