NDA govt will fulfil expectations of people: Union Minister Anupriya Patel after Nitish Kumar takes oath as Bihar CM

Union Minister Anupriya Patel assures rapid development and 1 crore jobs for youth as Nitish Kumar begins historic 10th term as Bihar Chief Minister with NDA government.

"We have full confidence that the NDA government will fulfil the expectations of the people... The people of Bihar will get to see development at a rapid pace - Anupriya Patel"

Patna, November 20

Union Minister Anupriya Patel on Thursday extended greetings to Nitish Kumar after he took oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the historic 10th time.

Speaking to reporters, the Union Minister said that the NDA government will fulfil the expectations of the people, and they will get to see development at a rapid pace.

"I extend my greetings to all Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, his cabinet and NDA leaders and parties. All of them have worked very hard. We have full confidence that the NDA government will fulfil the expectations of the people... The people of Bihar will get to see development at a rapid pace," Anupriya Patel told reporters.

She further said, "We have talked about providing 1 crore jobs for the youth in our manifesto. Women are at the center of our governance system. All our schemes are in the direction of empowering women. This is how a developed India will be built."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also extended his wishes to Nitish Kumar and the new Bihar government shortly after the JD(U) chief took oath at Patna's Gandhi Maidan earlier in the day.

Janata Dal (United) chief Nitish Kumar was sworn in as Chief Minister for the 10th time. BJP leaders Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha took oath as Deputy Chief Ministers in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan administered the oath.

A total of 25 ministers took oath as part of the new NDA-led Cabinet, including Vijay Kumar Choudhary (JD-U), Bijendra Prasad Yadav (JD-U), Shravan Kumar (JD-U), Mangal Pandey (BJP), Dilip Kumar Jaiswal (BJP) and Ashok Choudhary (JD-U).

The ceremony was held at the historic Gandhi Maidan in Patna, which has previously hosted Nitish Kumar's swearing-ins in 2005, 2010, and 2015. The venue also holds political significance as the site where Jayaprakash Narayan called for a "total revolution" in 1974.

The 2025 Bihar Assembly polls were seen as a crucial test for Nitish Kumar, who has remained a central figure in the state's politics for nearly two decades. The 74-year-old leader has served as Chief Minister since 2005, barring a brief nine-month interval in 2014-15.

Good to see focus on women empowerment! As a working woman from Patna, I hope the schemes actually reach the grassroots level. Too many announcements, less implementation so far.

While I appreciate the stability, I'm concerned about the frequent political shifts. Consistency in policies is crucial for long-term development. Hope this government lasts its full term.

Bihar needs industrial growth and better education facilities. Hope the NDA government focuses on these areas. The youth need quality jobs, not just promises.

As a teacher from Bihar, I've seen improvements in school infrastructure but quality education is still a challenge. Hope this government addresses this properly. Education is the real empowerment!
