In Nitish Kumar 10.0 Cabinet, Big Change As JDU Boss Hands Home To BJP
Nitish Kumar led his Janata Dal to an emphatic win in last week's Bihar election, picking up 85 of the state's 243 seats – 42 more than its 2015 result and only four fewer than allies BJP – and retained his hold on the Chief Minister's chair, but the wily politician won't have it all his way.
The 74-year-old has surrendered the Home Ministry portfolio, his for nearly two decades, to Bharatiya Janata Party leader Samrat Choudhary, who returns as the JDU boss' deputy.
