A DAY after winning the vote of confidence, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday inducted 26 ministers in his Cabinet — 14 from the JD(U), 11 from the BJP, and one from the LJP. Nitish and Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi had been sworn-in on Thursday, a day after he quit as chief minister of the Grand Alliance government, also comprising the RJD and Congress, and joined hands with the BJP. While top NDA leaders, including Union minister and LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan, attended today’s swearing-in, Opposition RJD and Congress stayed away in protest.
JD(U) retained its team from the Grand Alliance government, with Manju Verma being the only woman minister and Khurshid, alias Firoz Alam, the lone Muslim face in the Cabinet. To keep a caste balance, the BJP has seven ministers from among its Scheduled Caste, OBC and EBC MLAs, and five from upper caste groups. For the regional balance, the party gave ministerial positions to Ram Narayan Mandal (BJP’s lone MLA from Banka and Bhagalpur region), BJP spokesperson Vinod Narayan Jha, who had lost from Benipatto and is now an MLC, and Motihari legislator Pramod Kumar (also an OBC).
BJP veterans from Nitish’s previous NDA Cabinet, Nand Kishore Yadav and Prem Kumar, are back. Former BJP state president and the party’s Himachal Pradesh in-charge Mangal Pandey, whose name was on the list, could not reach Patna for the oath ceremony.For the JD(U), Dinesh Chandra Yadav and Ramji Rishidev are the new faces in this Cabinet. Besides Bijendra Prasad Yadav, a minister in all Nitish Cabinets since he first led an NDA government in 2005, some of the prominent JD(U) leaders retained are Sharavan Kumar, Jai Kumar Singh, Rajiv Ranjan Singh and Santosh Kumar Nirala.
