Nitish Kumar Makes History with 10th Term as Bihar CM
In a significant political development, Nitish Kumar was unanimously elected as the Janata Dal (United) legislative party leader on Wednesday, setting the stage for his record-breaking 10th term as Chief Minister of Bihar. This unprecedented achievement solidifies his position as one of India's most enduring political figures.
Preparation for Swearing-In Ceremony
The stage is set for the monumental oath-taking ceremony at Patna's iconic Gandhi Maidan. On Tuesday, Chief Minister Kumar personally inspected the preparations for the event, demonstrating his hands-on approach to the historic occasion. The massive public ground is expected to witness thousands of supporters celebrating this political milestone.
A Political Legacy Unmatched
With this election, Nitish Kumar continues his remarkable political journey that has seen him navigate Bihar's complex political landscape for decades. His return to the chief minister's office for the tenth time represents not just a personal achievement but also underscores the continued confidence his party and allies have in his leadership.
The JD(U) legislative party's decision comes amid intense political activity in Bihar following the recent assembly elections. Kumar's election as their leader was a foregone conclusion, given his unchallenged position within the party and his extensive experience in governing India's third-most populous state.
As Bihar prepares for this leadership transition, all eyes are on the swearing-in ceremony scheduled for later this week. The event is expected to draw political leaders from across the country, marking another chapter in Nitish Kumar's enduring political career that began his first term as chief minister in 2005.
