Nitish Kumar will remain the Chief Minister of Bihar, sources have indicated, with the formation of the new state government expected in another three days after the cabinet formula was finalised at a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
The swearing-in ceremony of the Bihar NDA government is expected to be held either on Wednesday or Thursday, sources said, with the final date depending on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's schedule.
The NDA had won the Bihar elections with a massive mandate, with both the JDU and the BJP scoring way better than their 2020 performance. The BJP emerged as the single largest party with 89 seats, followed by JDU with 85 seats. Even their smaller allies, like the LJP(RV), HAM, and RLM performed well.
