The postgraduate ministers include Vijay Kumar Choudhary, Sunil Kumar, Arun Shankar Prasad, and Shreyasi Singh. The graduate ministers include Mangal Pandey, Madan Sahni, Ramkripal Yadav, Sanjay Singh Tiger, Lakhendra Kumar Roshan, Sanjay Kumar, and Sanjay Kumar Singh.
Sanjay Kumar Singh has been elected MLA from the Mahua assembly constituency. He is a first-time MLA on the Lok Janshakti Party Ram Vilas (LJP) ticket. Lalu Prasad’s son Tej Pratap Yadav contested from this constituency. Sanjay is considered very close to Chirag Paswan.

Nitish Kumar sworn in as Bihar’s Chief Minister for the 10th time today. The Governor administered the oath of office and secrecy to him in a grand ceremony held at Gandhi Maidan in Patna.
The list of ministers to be sworn in in the Nitish cabinet has also been released. The BJP will have 14 ministers in the new government. Besides CM Nitish, seven ministers will be sworn in from the JDU. Jitan Ram Manjhi-led Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) will each have one minister.
Bihar is set to witness a major political event as Nitish Kumar takes oath as Chief Minister for the 10th time. Following his unanimous election as NDA Legislature Party leader, he resigned and staked claim to form a new government again with NDA partners. BJP leaders Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha are likely to become Deputy CMs, while allies like LJP(R), RLSP, and HAM may get new ministerial berths.
Nitish Kumar’s new government in Bihar faces significant challenges in fulfilling election promises. Key priorities include boosting employment, reducing migration, improving education, and strengthening law and order. The administration plans a development-focused roadmap with initiatives like the Panchamrit scheme for the poor and ‘Lakhpati Didi’ for women empowerment.
The BJP is the largest party in the 2025 assembly elections, but Nitish Kumar’s party, the JDU, is expected to rise once again in power. According to reports, 18 ministers, along with Nitish Kumar, may also be sworn in.
The meeting took place at Tejashwi’s residence on Polo Road in Patna. The meeting lasted for about four hours. Tejashwi reviewed the Bihar Assembly election defeat with RJD leaders. Following this, Tejashwi was elected legislative party leader.
