New Bihar Government Likely to Be Sworn In Nov 19-20
The process to form the 18th Legislative Assembly of Bihar is set to move quickly following the state’s recent assembly elections. The Election Commission of India will submit the final results to the Governor, and the Model Code of Conduct will be lifted. According to sources, the swearing-in ceremony for the new government is likely to be held on either November 19 or 20 at Gandhi Maidan in Patna.
Leadership and Alliance Details
Officials indicate that Nitish Kumar is set to continue as Chief Minister under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) banner. The ceremony time and attendance may depend on the schedule of Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister. The alliance of parties includes the BJP, JDU, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and others. Key decisions on cabinet size, minister allocations and deputy roles are reportedly being finalised.
What It Means for Bihar
A smooth transition and timely oath-taking are seen as critical for establishing the new government’s mandate and enabling early policy action. The high-visibility venue of Gandhi Maidan and the anticipated attendance of senior leaders reflect the strategic importance of this government formation for both state and national politics. With the date now fixed, focus turns to the full list of ministers and portfolio allocations.
