The swearing-in ceremony for the new Bihar government will take place in Patna on November 20. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other top leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), including union ministers, are expected to take part in the oath-taking event. Nitish Kumar will again meet the governor on Wednesday and tender his resignation along with a letter of support from all other constituents of the NDA.
Janata Dal United (JDU) sources said that Kumar would be elected legislature party leader today (November 19), a day before taking oath as Bihar CM for a record 10th time at a programme at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. Samrat Choudhary, Vijay Kumar Sinha, Mangal Pandey, Nitish Mishra, Renu Devi and Nitin Nabin are likely to take oath as Bihar Cabinet ministers from the BJP quota, while Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, Bijendra Prasad Yadav, Shrawan Kumar, Ashok Choudhary and Leshi Singh can become ministers from the JDU side.
The LJP-RV, the HAM and the RLM will also be accommodated in the Bihar Cabinet. Chirag Paswan's close aide Raju Tiwari, Jitan Ram Manjhi's son Santosh Kumar Suman and Upendra Kushwaha's wife Snehlata Kushwaha are likely to be inducted into the Nitish Kumar Cabinet.
