Both the son of RJD chief take charge as ministers

According to sources, Lalu’s younger son Tejaswi, 26, will be given the Deputy Chief Minister’s chair. In contrast, Bihar, helped by economic reforms carried out by Nitish Kumar government, witnessed marginal fall in the percentage of population below the poverty line. But as he grew and grew in stature, he kept his family away from politics.

However, the most amusing bit doing the rounds is regarding the stark gap in educational qualification between the chief minister and his deputy, although a person ” s academic merit can ” t be a lone measurer of his or her talent. The new members in the cabinet from JD (U) who took oath included – Shailesh Kumar, Kumari Manju Varma, Madan Sahni and Kapildeo Kamat.

Nitish won’t exclusively have to provide most ministerial berths to RJD however may also should accommodate the Congress. But in doing so, he should be sure that felony parts are evaded the federal government.

He is a teetotaller who detests tobacco.

A staggering 200,000 people, including eight chief ministers and a galaxy of national leaders ranged against the BJP, attended the swearing-in ceremony of Nitish Kumar as Bihar’s chief minister for a fifth term in office here. He had to resign within a week as he failed to prove his majority in the assembly.

There were fears that with the return on Lalu Prasad Yadav, Bihar may plunge back into the era when there was “jungle raj” in the state. He should take oath again. Lalu went on a boat across the Ganga to Raghopur – a long-demanded bridge over the river was sanctioned by Nitish Kumar a few months ago.

The Grand Alliance of Nitish Kumar swept 178 of the 243 Bihar assembly seats, leaving 53 to the BJP and five to its three allies in an election outcome that Lalu Prasad said would have major political repercussion.

“My priority would be to further enhance road connectivity in the state by linking every village”. All this was a veritable revolution in Bihar. Nitish is already being hailed as a potential future prime minister. The Lok Janshakti Party chief alleged that the district administration was acting “under political pressure in the wake of the incident and booking party supporters at the behest of a JD(U) leader who lost the poll”. Kumar or Tejashwi did not contest the said announcement. This is crucial if he intends to check the migration of unskilled labourers who form the bulk of Bihar’s human resource power. The law and order situation pointedly improved.

When completed, both these projects would provide the much-needed impetus to the bid for the industrialisation of Bihar. Nitish Kumar became a “vikas purush” (man of development).
