Nitish Kumar to expand Bihar cabinet ahead of assembly elections

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is set to expand his cabinet on Wednesday, ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.

The expansion, scheduled for 4 PM, will see the induction of new ministers from his party, Janata Dal (United), as well as ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), according to ANI. Four MLAs are expected to take ministerial oaths, including two from JD(U).

In a significant development, Bihar Revenue Minister and BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal has announced his resignation, aligning with the party's "One Person, One Post" policy.

Expressing gratitude for his role, Jaiswal stated, "I am going to resign from the post of Revenue Minister. 'One person, one post' is the principle on which the party works. I am thankful that the central leadership has given me the responsibility of the party's state unit."

Jaiswal, who was appointed BJP's Bihar state president on January 18, hinted at further cabinet reshuffling following his resignation, with the expansion set to take place before the elections later this year.

Commenting on the upcoming cabinet expansion, Jaiswal remarked, "It is the prerogative of the Chief Minister."

Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, has urged voters to support his father in the upcoming elections, emphasizing his contributions to Bihar's development.

"I urge the people of Bihar to vote for Bihar CM Nitish Kumar as he has done a lot of development in the state. Last time, people gave 43 seats. The public should ensure that we win more seats in the elections so that we can continue the pace of development," Nishant Kumar said.

He also encouraged JD(U) workers to promote Nitish Kumar’s achievements from the past 19 years among the people of Bihar.
