Kumar Sworn In as Bihar Chief Minister

Nitish Kumar, a dominant political figure in Bihar for nearly two decades, has been sworn in as chief minister for the tenth time following a significant victory in the recent elections. His party, Janata Dal United, and its allies, including Prime Minister Narendra Modis Bharatiya Janata Party, secured a majority of seats despite controversies over voter lists. Bihar, one of Indias poorest states, saw a record turnout of nearly 67% with more women voting than men. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
