{ "title": "Bihar CM Oath-Taking: Who's Attending Nitish Kumar's Historic 10th Swearing-In Ceremony", "article": "Bihar is set to witness a significant event on Thursday as JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar prepares to take his oath as the state's next chief minister for the 10th time, just a day after staking his claim to form the next government. The ceremony, scheduled for 11:30 am at Patna's Gandhi Maidan, will see a star-studded lineup of dignitaries from across the country, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, union home minister Amit Shah, and BJP national president J P Nadda. Key NDA leaders, along with chief ministers from other states, are expected to attend the historic event. Notably, the presence of Opposition leaders, including Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, remains uncertain, given the party's recent defeat in the Assembly polls and internal family disputes. Tejashwi's sister, Rohini Acharya, has leveled allegations against the family, further fueling the controversy. Meanwhile, Prashant Kishor, a key strategist for the RJD, has decided to skip the ceremony. Instead, he will observe a day-long silent fast at the Gandhi Bhitiharwa Ashram on November 20. Despite this, senior RJD leaders are likely to be represented at the oath-taking ceremony. Additionally, leaders from other parties of the INDIA bloc and Mahagathbandhan, including the Congress, Left, and VIP, are expected to attend the event, marking a significant display of unity and solidarity."
