Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to arrive in Patna shortly, where he will lead a high-profile roadshow from the airport to Gandhi Maidan ahead of Bihar’s cabinet expansion ceremony. A total of 31 ministers are expected to take oath today as part of the NDA government formation. Among the new ministers, BJP’s Engineer Shailendra and JDU’s Bulo Mandal have already been highlighted, with several leaders interacting with media ahead of the ceremony. Leaders expressed commitment to Bihar’s development and pledged to support governance under the NDA alliance. The event also triggered a political debate over representation and dynastic politics, as several leaders including Nishant Kumar (son of Nitish Kumar) are expected to join the cabinet despite not being elected legislators. Similar discussions also emerged around other political families within the NDA structure. The ceremony reflects both a major administrative reshuffle and a politically significant moment in Bihar, combining governance expansion with debates on political succession and representation.
