The political drama in Bihar reaches fever pitch as NDA allies gear up for a new government. Endless rounds of meetings signal that the suspense over the Chief Minister’s position will end soon. Tuesday evening promises the official announcement, after crucial decisions in legislative party huddles.
All NDA MLAs have been ordered to stay put in Patna for the next two days—no travel allowed. This lockdown ensures smooth deliberations. BJP’s choice of Shivraj Singh Chouhan as observer adds weight; he’ll land in Patna Monday and lead the BJP MLAs’ meeting at 2 PM Tuesday. JD(U) will follow suit, then the smaller allies—LJP(R), HAM, RLSP—before the grand NDA legislature party session seals the CM pick.
Nitish Kumar’s cabinet meets at 11 AM Tuesday, after which he’ll tender his resignation to the Governor. At his residence, top JD(U) brass like Lalan Singh and Jama Khan strategized. Khan predicted completion within 48 hours, eyeing Wednesday for the swearing-in. Streets of Patna tell their own story: barricades line routes from the airport to key spots, security at peak levels.
DM Tyagarajan scouted Raj Bhavan Monday, overseeing oath ceremony logistics. As whispers of big leaders’ visits grow, Bihar braces for its next government. This swift transition highlights NDA’s unity and readiness to steer the state forward amid high stakes.
