Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is scheduled to take oath for a record tenth term today in Patna, underlining his enduring political dominance in the state. The ceremony, set to be held at the historic Gandhi Maidan, comes after his party, the Janata Dal (United), and the coalition won a strong electoral mandate. The swearing-in reflects both his leadership resilience and the alliance’s strategic focus ahead. Preparations for the event have been extensive, with security protocols elevated, guest lists finalised and logistical arrangements in full swing. Political analysts note this moment as a turning point: for Kumar personally, it marks an unprecedented tenth term; for Bihar, it signals the start of the next developmental phase. The outcome could shape legislative priorities, cabinet distribution and governance style for the coming years. With high expectations from the public for delivery of services, improved infrastructure and job creation, the new term will be watched closely.
