Nishant Kumar, the 45-year-old son of Nitish Kumar (president of the Janata Dal (United) party), was sworn in as a minister in Bihar on Thursday, alongside 32 other ministers. The oath-taking ceremony, attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, signifies a major cabinet expansion in the state. Nishant, an engineering graduate, initially hesitated to accept a ministerial position, preferring to establish himself as a dedicated party worker first. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the assembly with 89 MLAs, has appointed 15 ministers in this expansion. Most inductees were previously part of the Nitish Kumar cabinet formed after the NDA coalition regained power in the assembly elections last November. Notable returning ministers include Sanjay Kumar Singh and Sanjay Kumar Paswan from the Lok Janshakti Party, along with others from various regional parties.
