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.

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.
