Nitish Kumar submitted his resignation as Bihar chief minister to Governor Arif Mohammad Khan at Raj Bhavan, in Patna, formally bringing the outgoing NDA government to an end.
Earlier in the day, Mr Kumar chaired his last cabinet meeting of the present government, during which all the cabinet ministers tendered their resignation and recommended to dissolve the present Assembly.
The oath taking ceremony will take place on November 20 at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to attend the ceremony, and at least one deputy chief minister is expected to be named. Along with the JD(U) and the BJP, smaller allies — the Chirag Paswan-led LJP (RV), the Manjhi-led HAM-S and the Upendra Kushwaha-led RLM will be part of the new government.
This will be the tenth time, Nitish Kumar will take oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar. The NDA enters the new term with a strong majority, having won more than 200 seats in the 243-member assembly in the recent elections. The BJP led the tally with 89 seats, followed by the JD(U)’s 85.
