Newly elected Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said Bihar will be in the list of India’s most developed states. After taking oath for the 10th time, Kumar said the NDA will work towards fulfilling the promises with the help of Centre. CM Nitish also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for attending his oath ceremony in Patna.

At the same time, I warmly welcome the honorable Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah ji, the esteemed Chief Ministers from various states, honorable Union Ministers, all distinguished persons, and special guests,” CM Nitish posted on X.
“With the resolve for all-round development of Bihar, the NDA government in the state will work with full commitment with the cooperation of the Central Government. I am confident that with the cooperation and blessings of the people of Bihar, we will include Bihar in the category of the most developed states in the country,” he added.
