With the BJP as a partner, Nitish Kumar might become the country's ninth-ever chief minister.
Nitish is scheduled to meet with his party's MLAs in the morning, then convene a joint meeting of NDA lawmakers and MPs. Subsequently, he will either tender his resignation or fire the RJD ministers, and provide the governor with a new letter of support from the BJP and HAM(S). According to a person with knowledge of the situation, "the governor might invite him for the oath ceremony in the evening itself."
PATNA: BJP national president J P Nadda, Union home minister Amit Shah, or both may be unavailable on Sunday evening or Monday early, but the Mandapam at Raj Bhavan is prepared for JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar to take the oath as Bihar chief minister for the ninth time.
Top sources indicated that the NDA administration in Bihar will be partnered with the BJP and HAM(S) of former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi.
Early in the morning, Nitish will meet with the MLAs from his party. Later, he will call a joint meeting of NDA lawmakers and MPs, perhaps at his home. Finally, he will either tender his resignation or fire the RJD ministers and provide the governor with a new letter of support from the BJP and HAM(S).
“He could receive an invitation from the governor to attend the oath ceremony that evening. A person with knowledge of the developments stated, “Let’s see how things play out in the morning.”
Nitish will remain the chief minister, as per the agreement between the JD(U) and the BJP; the BJP will have two deputy chief ministers, identical to the NDA government that was created following the 2020 legislative votes. Renu Devi, the former deputy chief minister, is virtually finalized. She is from the numerically powerful extremely backward classes (EBCs). A top BJP source told TOI that Sushil Kumar Modi and Tar Kishore Prasad, two previous deputy chief ministers, are being considered for the second deputy chief minister position.
Another BJP senior adds that Nityanand Rai, the Union minister of state for home affairs who comes from the same Yadav community as RJD chief Lalu Prasad, would be taken into consideration for the second deputy chief minister position (from the BJP quota) in an attempt to woo Yadav voters away from the RJD.
In the 243-member Bihar Assembly, JD(U) has 45 members. With the backing of the BJP and the HAM(S), the NDA will now have 127 members, five more than the minimum of 122 needed to demonstrate majority in the House.
Additionally, Sumit Kumar Singh , an independent lawmaker who currently serves as a cabinet minister in the Nitish-led administration, supports the JD(U). With Sumit’s backing , the total number of NDAs will reach 128.
