Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar expanded his cabinet on Wednesday, 26 February, ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, bringing in seven new ministers from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Seven new MLAs including Sanjay Saraogi, Sunil Kumar, Jibesh Mishra and Vijay Kumar Mandal took oath as cabinet ministers.
Assembly elections in Bihar are scheduled to be held in November this year.
In a notable development, Bihar Revenue Minister and BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal has announced his resignation from his ministerial post, citing the party’s “One Person, One Post” policy.
Jaiswal, who held the crucial Revenue and Land Reform portfolio, was inducted into the cabinet in January last year after the BJP returned to power in the state with CM Nitish Kumar joining the NDA.
