Bihar is all set to welcome its new government, with Nitish Kumar poised to take oath as Chief Minister for the 10th time. The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for Thursday at 11:30 am at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. According to sources, around 18 leaders are expected to take oath, including two deputy chief ministers. The BJP's Prem Kumar is likely to be appointed as the new Speaker of the Bihar Assembly, while the JD(U) is expected to take the Deputy Speaker position. The decision was reportedly reached after a three-hour meeting of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The BJP and JD(U) have been negotiating key portfolios and the Speaker position ahead of their legislative party meetings. On the JD(U) side, several senior leaders are being considered for ministerial berths. Names doing the rounds include Bijendra Prasad Yadav, Vijay Kumar Choudhary, and others. Meanwhile, the BJP is likely to retain most ministers from the outgoing Cabinet while bringing in three fresh faces. The oath-taking ceremony of the fresh NDA government will be held at Gandhi Maidan, marking a new chapter in Bihar's politics. Stay tuned for live updates on the ceremony and the new government's formation.
