Bihar government formation live: Nitish Kumar along with Samrat Chaudhary and other NDA leaders met Governor Arif Mohammad Khan in Patna on Monday.
Bihar Government Formation Live: Bihar is set to get a new government on Thursday, November 20, after the current government was dissolved on November 19, days after the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won a landslide victory in the 2025 state assembly elections. An HT report quoted Vijay Kumar Choudhary, a Janata Dal United (JDU) minister in the outgoing cabinet, as saying that Nitish Kumar will resign as Bihar chief minister on Wednesday, November 19, to begin the formal process of forming a new government.
After the Bihar cabinet meeting on Monday, state minister and BJP leader Prem Kumar said, “The swearing-in ceremony of the newly formed government will be held on November 20 at Gandhi Maidan. The current government will be dissolved on the 19th. PM Modi and lakhs of people will attend the historic swearing-in ceremony.”
Who will be the Chief Minister?
Although there is no official confirmation yet on who will become the next Chief Minister of Bihar, speculations are rife that Nitish Kumar, Bihar’s longest serving Chief Minister, is likely to get the top post again.
Talking about the preparations for the ceremony, JD-U working president Sanjay Kumar Jha said, “This will be a big event in line with the big victory in the elections to take up the big challenge of next generation development that the people have given the NDA government under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. The ceremony will also be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior central BJP leaders.”
How many ministers will take oath?
The NDA parties are considering allocating about one ministerial berth for every six MLAs to ensure balanced representation within the alliance, which includes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Janata Dal (United) or JD(U), Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM), and Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) or HAM(S), HT had earlier reported.
Yadav family feud
While the NDA is preparing to form the new government in Bihar, the Yadav family, one of the largest political families in the state, is going through turmoil after Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya on Saturday announced she was quitting politics and made serious allegations against her brother Tejashwi Yadav and his associates. He said he was mistreated and abused.
Rohini said, “I don’t have any family. You can go and ask this to Sanjay Yadav, Rameez and Tejashwi Yadav. They have thrown me out of the family.”
Following Rohini’s allegations, her four sisters quietly moved out of the family’s Patna residence with their children, and Tej Pratap Yadav issued an emotional defense warning those he accused of being responsible.
Reacting to the feud, Lalu Yadav said it was an internal matter of his family and it would be “resolved within the family”.
“I’m there to deal with it,” he said.
