The pace of development in Bihar can be gauged from the fact that it took nearly three months for the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to finally fill up his cabinet. This also meant that Nitish with a new team or the NDA as a winning political front weren t buoyed up with an agenda or action items to embark on immediately following the November 2020 election.
After being reinstalled in the CM’s position, it must have been “same-old, same-old for Nitish, although at one point he had seen his future threatened. He also claimed that he had accepted the position reluctantly. The people of Bihar also didn’t seem too excited at the continuation of Nitish into his 4th term or over his dull, uninspiring and routine cabinet formation.
PATNA: Almost three months after the formation of the NDA government, the state cabinet was expanded on Tuesday with the induction of 17 more ministers. With this, the size of the cabinet has gone up to 31 against the maximum strength of 36 ministers.
Out of the 17 ministers inducted on Tuesday, nine are from BJP and eight from JD(U). BJP has a majority in the cabinet with nine new ministers in addition to seven already inducted when the NDA government was formed on November 14, last year. The number of ministers of JD(U), on the other hand, has gone up from four to 12. The Jitan Ram Manjhi-led Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Mukesh Sahni-led Vikassheel Insan Party (VIP) have one minister each in the NDA government led by CM Nitish Kumar.
