Nitish Kumar And Tejashwi Yadav's Agreement: Who Gets What

Bihar Political Crisis: Much of this depends on the Governor's actions after he meets with Nitish Kumar this evening; Tejashwi Yadav is expected to attend the meeting, possibly along with other Opposition parties.

As they get ready to make a bid to form a new government together, Nitish Kumar, who will resign as Chief Minister of the current Bihar government today, and Tejashwi Yadav, the 32-year-old Opposition leader, have worked out the broad contours of their understanding. Sources explained these as:

Nitish Kumar will be Chief Minister with Tejashwi Yadav as his Deputy;

The assignment of all ministries will be Nitish Kumar's prerogative;

The Speaker will be selected from Tejashwi Yadav's party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal or RJD;
