Nishant Kumar formally entered Bihar’s administrative frontline after taking charge as Health Minister amid the NDA government’s large-scale cabinet expansion in Patna.
With the NDA securing a landslide in the 2025 Bihar Assembly polls, the process of forming the new government has accelerated.
Bihar’s 2025 Assembly elections delivered a landslide win for the NDA, reducing the opposition to just 35 seats. Attention now turns to the formation of the new government and the likely Chief Minister.
Modi also pointed out that Congress leaders often blame external factors like Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) or the voter list purification process for their poor performance, rather than introspecting on their internal shortcomings.
Despite contesting almost every constituency, Jan Suraaj could not register a single win. Meanwhile, the NDA swept the polls, securing 202 seats, crossing the 200-seat mark for only the second time, the first being in 2010 when it won 206 seats.
The result has further strengthened speculation that he may accept the coveted post of Deputy Chief Minister to advance his vision of transforming Bihar into a developed state.
