Mr. Kumar will be taking oath as chief minister of the State for the eighth time
After being elected as leader of mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) on August 9, Nitish Kumar and his new cabinet of ministers are scheduled to take oath today at 2 pm at Raj Bhawan.
Mr. Kumar, after several flip-flops, will be taking oath as chief minister of the State for the eighth time in the last 22 years, since March 2000.
Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav is likely to take oath again as Mr. Kumar’s deputy in the cabinet. Earlier in mahagathbandhan government in 2015 too, Tejashwi Yadav was Deputy Chief Minister of the State.
Several RJD leaders have reached 10, Circular Road residence of party leader Rabri Devi where Tejashwi Yadav lives with family.
Party sources told The Hindu that final list of leaders to take oath as ministers in the new cabinet are being finalized by Tejashwi Yadav and the list will “eventually be sent to party chief Lalu Prasad in Delhi for his approval”.
Ailing Mr. Prasad is currently recuperating in Delhi.
If party sources are to be believed there would be 16 ministers, including Dy CM Tejashwi Yadav and Lalu Prasad’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from RJD in the new cabinet.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
