The Nitish Cabinet Last Meeting will take place on the same day as the birth anniversary of B. R. Ambedkar. Before the meeting, Nitish Kumar is likely to pay tribute to Ambedkar. The cabinet may clear several pending government proposals during this session.

Sources say Bihar could see a new chief minister on April 15. Political discussions within the NDA have already started to decide the next leader who will lead the state government.

Several BJP leaders are being discussed as possible candidates. These include Samrat Choudhary, Nityanand Rai, Vijay Kumar Sinha, and Renu Devi.

The new government may take shape quickly after the cabinet meeting. A swearing-in ceremony for the new chief minister could take place on April 15 in Patna.

JDU MLA Vibha Devi hesitated while reading her lines and needed help from fellow MLA Manorama Devi. BJP MLA Renu Devi from Bettiah was also stopped after she read the oath in the wrong format, and she had to take it again. Similarly, Anita Devi of Warisaliganj went off the script, leading the Pro-tem Speaker to interrupt her mid-oath.

Some MLAs mistakenly swore to both God and integrity, which is not allowed, so they were asked to choose only one. The repeated interruptions created confusion inside the House.

The Assembly session was completely digital, with live broadcasts displayed on wall-mounted screens. MLAs watched the ceremony from their seats, and NDA members occupied 85% of the benches. The first session of the 18th Legislative Assembly began after Pro-tem Speaker Narendra Narayan Yadav officially opened the proceedings.

Other ministers in the race are Nitish Mishra, Neeraj Kumar Singh Bablu, Jayant Raj, Sumit Kumar Singh, Jama Khan, and Krishnanandan Paswan. Many former ministers and top leaders are also contesting. The election will decide the political future of Deputy Chief Ministers Tarkishore Prasad and Renu Devi too.

Over 1,300 candidates are in the fray. Major parties like the RJD, BJP, and JDU are competing strongly. This phase will be crucial for both NDA and Grand Alliance camps.

Renu Devi said Lalu first insulted Aishwarya Rai, who she called a “Lakshmi embodiment.” Now, Rohini, who donated her kidney to her father, faces disrespect. “Don’t insult your own people for the sake of others,” Renu Devi warned.

She also referred to remarks by RJD workers on PM Narendra Modi’s mother during Navratri, emphasizing the importance of respecting women.

The minister added that she remained silent at first, seeing this as a family matter. But as a daughter of Bihar, she could not stay quiet. She said it is sad that a daughter setting an example is being scorned while Lalu Yadav stays silent.

The dispute centers on Tejashwi Yadav’s protege, Sanjay Yadav. Tej Pratap Yadav has already criticized him, calling him Jaichand. Rohini Acharya questioned a photo showing her on Tejashwi’s seat during the Bihar Adhikar Yatra, sparking emotional reactions online.
