In a significant move following the recent political shift in Bihar, Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has retained control over key departments such as home and general administration, totaling 29 departments under his purview. This allocation, notified shortly after his swearing-in, reflects the BJP's strategy to maintain a stronghold over essential governance areas, including law enforcement and bureaucratic oversight. Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary has been assigned 10 departments, while Bijendra Prasad Yadav oversees 8 departments, focusing primarily on welfare and development. The BJP's consolidation of power is evident, with Choudhary's extensive control allowing the party to influence law and order, financial management, and infrastructure development. In contrast, the JD(U) retains a more supportive role, concentrating on sectors traditionally aligned with its agenda. This shift in departmental control signals a clear advantage for the BJP in the coalition, as smaller alliance partners await the redistribution of unallocated departments after a full cabinet expansion.
