Nitish Kumar took oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the tenth time. The event was held at Gandhi Maidan in Patna, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi and many other leaders were present. The focus of this ceremony was the entry of first-time Bihar ministers, who bring new energy to the cabinet.
Several leaders joined the cabinet for the first time. These first-time Bihar ministers include Ramkripal Yadav, Sanjay Singh Tiger, Arun Shankar Prasad, Rama Nishad, Lakhendra Kumar Roshan, and Shreyasi Singh from the BJP. Leaders from LJP and RLSP also received positions. Sanjay Kumar and Sanjay Kumar Singh from Chirag Paswan’s party, and Deepak Prakash from Upendra Kushwaha’s party, became ministers for the first time.
Ramkripal Yadav earlier served as a minister at the Centre but never became a minister in Bihar. Sanjay Singh Tiger, a strong grassroots leader, won from Ara. Rama Nishad, wife of former MP Ajay Nishad, won from Aurai in Muzaffarpur. Lakhendra Kumar Roshan, from Patepur, is considered close to Union Minister Nityanand Rai.
Three former BJP ministers—Dilip Jaiswal, Pramod Kumar, and Narayan Prasad—also returned to the cabinet, adding experience to the new team.
