The Bihar cabinet expansion is set to take place soon, with Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary holding discussions with senior BJP leaders in New Delhi. The expansion is expected to coincide with the Bihar cabinet meeting on May 6, the same day election results will be announced. Currently, the cabinet consists only of the CM and two deputy CMs since they took office on April 15. Senior BJP leaders, including Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh, were consulted to ensure an inclusive cabinet that represents various societal sections. The proposed formula suggests that both the BJP and the Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)] will have 16 ministers each, while smaller parties will receive a few seats as well. The cabinet can accommodate a maximum of 36 ministers, but the previous Nitish Kumar cabinet operated with only 27. Discussions also focused on Bihar's economic development and modern medical facilities, indicating a strategic approach to governance. The final list of ministers will be confirmed after Choudhary returns to Patna.
