      Nitish Kumar Cabinet Expansion: A Look At The New Bihar MLAs

      A total of 31 ministers were inducted into the cabinet of Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, after his dramatic exit from the alliance with the BJP in Bihar. Kumar, who has now allied with the Rashtriya Janata Dal, did not announce right away who would be in his cabinet.

      On Tuesday, a swearing-in ceremony was held at the Raj Bhawan in Patna. The Mahagathbandhan had a strength of 163 MLAs already and it rose to 164 an independent MLA extended their support to the alliance.

      The portfolios of each minister have not been announced yet. After the ceremony, Kumar told the media, "The portfolios will be allocated shortly. I will hold a meeting of the entire cabinet today once again."

      Congratulating the newly inducted MLAs, Tejashwi Yadav said on Twitter, "I hope and believe that all the ministers will contribute to the development of Bihar under the leadership of Nitish Kumar with complete loyalty, diligence, honesty, transparency and mutual coordination."

      आज बिहार सरकार के मंत्री के रूप में शपथ लेने वाले विधानमंडल के सभी माननीय सदस्यों को हार्दिक बधाई।

      आशा और विश्वास है कि सभी मंत्रिगण आदरणीय श्री नीतीश कुमार जी के नेतृत्व में पूर्ण निष्ठा, कर्मठता, ईमानदारी, पारदर्शिता और आपसी समन्वय के साथ बिहार के विकास में योगदान देंगे।
