Nitish Kumar To Take Oath As Bihar CM On Nov 20, PM Modi Likely To Attend: Sources

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to attend the oath-taking ceremony of the new NDA-led government in Bihar.

The new Bihar government will take oath on Thursday, November 20 in Patna. Nitish Kumar is set to be sworn in as the Bihar Chief Minister once again, according to sources. 

According to sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to attend the oath-taking ceremony.

The last cabinet meeting of the outgoing NDA government in Bihar on Monday “authorised” Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to recommend dissolution of the assembly. A resolution to this effect was unanimously passed in the meeting chaired by Kumar, which lasted for 10 minutes, they said.

“The CM met Governor Arif Mohammad Khan soon after the meeting to apprise him about the decision of the cabinet. On November 19, Kumar will submit his resignation to the Governor as head of the outgoing government,” news agency PTI reported citing one of its sources.

The NDA won the Bihar Assembly polls, bagging more than 200 seats in the 243-member House, with the BJP winning the maximum number of 89 seats, followed by the JD(U)’s tally of 85.
