Bihar Minister Ashok Choudhary, speaking in Patna, termed the meeting a courtesy call and said detailed talks were held on how the Central government can further support Bihar’s development journey.
The meeting also coincided with other pressing issues for the Bihar NDA government, including an anticipated cabinet expansion after Makar Sankranti, strategies for upcoming Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council elections in 2026, and plans to fill the vacancy left by Nitin Nabin’s recent resignation from the state cabinet.
Prime Minister Modi acknowledged the meeting on social media, reinforcing the strong partnership between the Centre and Bihar. PM Modi had earlier attended Nitish Kumar’s swearing-in ceremony on November 20, 2025, marking the Chief Minister’s record tenth oath-taking.
According to sources, Nitish Kumar also met Union Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss Bihar’s internal security and law and order roadmap.
Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, echoing sentiments from the recent election campaign, said, “The people of Bihar have trusted the leadership of PM Modi and Nitish Kumar once again. Our focus is now entirely on delivering good governance and stability.”
