https://ift.tt/32LGiPO
Nitish Kumar has been chosen as the chief minister of Bihar yet again, dispelling the scope for any infighting that was speculated as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) earned the "big brother" tag for the first time this poll season. Kumar will continue to be at the helm of political affairs in Bihar with Sushil Kumar Modi as his deputy. The duo has been selected at a key meeting of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) which has JD(U), BJP, HAM and Vikassheel Insaan Party as its constituents. Kumar was elected as the NDA legislature party leader at the meeting while Modi was roped in as his second-in-command despite reports stating that a Dalit leader could be zeroed in on. Nitish Kumar will take oath as the chief minister for a fourth successive term on Monday with Sushil Modi alongside. The swearing-in ceremony will be held post 4 pm tomorrow. It is said that the day has been chosen as it marks 'Bhaiyya Dooj' festival which is considered auspicious. ALSO READ | Nitish Kumar to take oath as CM tomorrow, Sushil Modi as his deputy
