Expressing hope that the fresh administration will deliver on its commitments, Tejashwi said the new government must meet the expectations of the people and work to bring “positive and qualitative changes” to Bihar. He added that the state’s residents will be looking for the government to fulfil the promises and declarations made in the run-up to its formation.
JD(U) president Nitish Kumar was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Bihar for a record tenth time on Thursday at a grand ceremony attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and several top NDA leaders. Governor Arif Mohammed Khan administered the oath of office to Kumar and a 26-member cabinet at Patna’s historic Gandhi Maidan.
Among those present were BJP president J.P. Nadda and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who oversaw the party’s campaign in the state elections. Kumar had resigned on Wednesday and immediately staked claim to form a new government, which the Governor approved.
Congratulating the newly sworn-in ministers, PM Modi wrote on X, “My heartiest congratulations to all the colleagues who took oath as ministers in the Bihar government. This is a splendid team of dedicated leaders, which will take Bihar to new heights. My best wishes to all of them!” Towards the end of the ceremony, Modi drew loud cheers as he twirled his ‘gamchha’ in his trademark style.
A massive stage had been set up at Gandhi Maidan for the event, which saw the presence of several NDA chief ministers, including N. Chandrababu Naidu (Andhra Pradesh), Yogi Adityanath (Uttar Pradesh), Devendra Fadnavis (Maharashtra), Himanta Biswa Sarma (Assam), and Rekha Gupta (Delhi). Among those who took oath were BJP leaders Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, who served as Deputy Chief Ministers in the previous NDA government.
