Upcoming Oath Ceremony in Bihar

According to sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are expected to participate in the oath-taking ceremony scheduled for April 15 in Bihar. The Prime Minister is anticipated to arrive in Patna on the night of April 14, likely spending the night there. The ceremony will take place at the Raj Bhavan and Lok Bhavan premises in Patna. Reports indicate that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will convene a cabinet meeting at 11 AM on April 14, after which he will submit his resignation to the Governor.

Formation of New NDA Government

This move will pave the way for the formal establishment of a new government led by the NDA in the state. Prior to this, a meeting of NDA legislators is also scheduled, during which a new leader of the legislative party will be elected. All eyes are on senior BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, who is considered a strong contender for the Chief Minister position. Sources suggest that his appointment is nearly confirmed, although an official announcement is still pending.

Focus on OBC Community

Chaudhary, who hails from the influential OBC Koiri community, is being courted by both the BJP and the main opposition party, RJD. He was appointed as the state party president in 2023 and became Deputy Chief Minister a year later when the JD(U) leader returned to the alliance, bringing the NDA back to power. NDA legislators have been instructed to remain in Patna for the next two days due to important meetings ahead. During the legislative party meeting, the new leader of the alliance will be formally elected.
