A day after resigning as the Bihar chief minister to discontinue his coalition government with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nitish Kumar will be taking oath as the CM again – for the eighth time in his political career – on August 10.
Kumar, who broke ties with the NDA claiming that there was constant pressure to topple the government, has joined hands again with Mahagathbandhan partner RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, who will take oath as Deputy Chief Minister.
“The swearing-in ceremony of Honorable Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister will be held tomorrow at 2 pm at Raj Bhavan,” the official handle of the RJD tweeted on Tuesday evening.

Kumar’s fresh stint as the chief minister will be based on the support of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the Congress and the Left parties.
Kumar, 71, who earlier in the day submitted his resignation as the chief minister heading the NDA coalition, said he submitted a list of 164 MLAs to Governor Phagu Chauhan who will decide when the oath-taking can take place.
The effective strength of the state Assembly is 242 and the magic figure is 122.
