Sources say the oath ceremony could happen within two days. Only a few ministers may take oath at the start. Other ministers may join later after the parties finish talks on seat sharing and portfolios.

Senior JD(U) leader Vijay Kumar Chaudhary said formal talks on cabinet seats have not begun yet. Party leaders will decide the number of ministers for each ally soon.

Political activity has increased in Patna as leaders prepare for the new government. The alliance wants to complete discussions quickly before the ceremony.

The BJP won 89 seats, the highest in its history in Bihar. This gives the party a clear edge during discussions. Sources say the BJP may get 15–16 ministerial posts, while the JDU may receive 14–15. All NDA partners agree that Nitish Kumar will remain CM and a BJP leader will become Deputy CM.

Meetings are happening with leaders like Upendra Kushwaha and Jitan Ram Manjhi. Their families may also get ministerial posts. The BJP is also eyeing key ministries such as Home, Finance, and Public Works.

Names for Deputy CM include Samrat Chaudhary and a Rajput leader discussed in place of Vijay Sinha. Meanwhile, Chirag Paswan wants the Deputy CM post too, but the BJP may not support that demand. His party could still get three to four ministries. Final decisions may come after the next round of NDA meetings.
