Breaking: PM Narendra Modi, Nitish Kumar Mark Major NDA Show of Strength in Patna

The cabinet expansion in Bihar has been completed with a grand oath-taking ceremony where 32 ministers were sworn in. The event saw participation from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and senior NDA leaders, making it a politically significant moment. The new cabinet includes 15 ministers from the BJP, 13 from JD(U), and others from allied parties including LJP(R), HAM, and RLM, reflecting a carefully balanced coalition structure. Among the prominent names, Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar took oath as a minister, marking a notable political entry. Senior leaders like Vijay Kumar Sinha and Dilip Jaiswal from BJP, and Shravan Kumar, Leshi Singh, and Madan Sahni from JD(U) were also sworn in. The expansion has been widely viewed as an attempt to maintain caste and regional balance, with representation from upper castes, OBCs, EBCs, and Dalits. The ceremony also highlighted political symbolism, alliance unity, and continuity of governance under the NDA leadership in Bihar.
