Bihar Cabinet Portfolio Allocation: CM Nitish Kumar Keeps Home, Deputy Samrat Gets Finance, Health & Sports

The portfolio distribution comes six days after the new National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government was sworn in under Kumar with two deputy chief ministers from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The portfolio allocation was done in keeping with the formula adopted in 2020, but without cabinet expansion, which would be done later.

In the portfolio, Kumar has retained the key departments, including home, general administration department (GAD), vigilance, cabinet coordination and election. These departments have been with him all through since 2005 despite the change of alliance partners.
