Nitish Kumar likely to take oath as Bihar CM for 9th time tomorrow

All eyes were trained on Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday, January 27, with the JD(U) president appearing to be inching towards his second political volte face in less than three years.

Sources have said that he will take the oath for the ninth time in Bihar on Sunday.

Sources have said that Nitish will visit the Governor’s residence on Saturday (today) and hand over the list of MLAs followed by the resignation. He will also stake claim to form the new government.

The indication about the swearing-in ceremony in Raj Bhawan is getting stronger with the facts that the chief minister’s office (CMO) has directed the officials to open the cabinet secretariat on Sunday.
