Nitish Kumar took oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the fourth straight term today. Fourteen other ministers sworn in along with him.
Governor Phagu Chauhan administered the oath of office and secrecy to Kumar at 4:30 pm today in the presence of top BJP leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and party president JP Nadda.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders Tarkishore Prasad and Renu Devi takes oath as the deputy chief ministers of Bihar.
The NDA won the state election last week with a wafer-thin majority and got 125 of Bihar’s 243 assembly seats, three above the halfway mark.
The NDA’s campaign hinged largely on speeches by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who visited the state at least four times during the month-long poll campaign and was seen sharing stage with Nitish Kumar.
Best wishes to the Nitish Kumar on being nominated as the Chief Minister of Bihar. I hope that instead of the ambition of the chair, he will make the government’s priority in the 19 lakh jobs and jobs of Bihar’s Janakaksha and NDA and positive issues like education, medicine, earning, irrigation, hearing, says RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.
