1 min read
Bihar’s political circles are abuzz ahead of Thursday’s cabinet expansion in the Samrat Choudhary-led government. Former CM Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, is set to make his mark as a minister, with touching images of him taking his father’s blessings dominating social media.
The pre-oath ritual saw Nishant prostrating before Nitish, who responded with an affectionate embrace. Present at the scene were JD(U)’s Sanjay Jha and Lalan Singh, whom Nishant also reverently greeted. Such scenes highlight the personal bonds fueling Bihar’s power dynamics.
Having entered politics post his father’s resignation and Rajya Sabha nomination, Nishant joined JD(U) and has been fast-tracked into prominence. Sources indicate his inclusion under JD(U) quota, alongside other Nitish loyalists and new talents, to bolster the cabinet’s composition.
Confirmations are trickling in, with BJP leader Dilip Jaiswal openly stating he’s been tapped for a berth. Slated for 12:10 PM, the Governor-led ceremony marks a pivotal moment post the April 14 handover from Nitish to Samrat Choudhary. This expansion is viewed as a masterstroke to consolidate power, inject youth, and align with the NDA’s vision for Bihar’s progress.
