Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday (21 November 2025) distributed departments in his cabinet, under which Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary has been given the charge of Home Department. This is the first time during Nitish Kumar’s tenure as Chief Minister that he will not have the Home Department. Before this, this department had remained with him throughout his tenure. If we look at the complete list of division of departments in Bihar, the Home Ministry may have gone to BJP’s account, but JDU has many important departments.

These big departments will remain with JDU

JDU’s Bijendra Yadav is the oldest minister in the Bihar cabinet, he was given the responsibility of finance, commercial tax, energy, planning development. Vijay Chaudhary has been assigned the Department of Water Resources, Building Construction and Parliamentary Affairs. Apart from this, Ashok Chaudhary has been given the responsibility of Rural Affairs Department, Sunil Kumar has been given the responsibility of Education Department. These are all such departments, which are considered very important from the development point of view of the state.

BJP has the highest number of ministers in the new cabinet

NDA government has been formed for the 8th time under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. In the current cabinet, 14 leaders from Bihar, 9 from JDU, 2 from LJP (R), one each from HAM and RLD have been made ministers. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has the responsibility of general administration, cabinet secretariat, monitoring, elections as well as all such departments which have not been allotted to anyone.

Home department went to BJP’s account

The power of the Bharatiya Janata Party, which emerged as the largest party by winning 89 seats in the Bihar Assembly elections, is clearly visible in the Nitish cabinet. The responsibility of law and order of Bihar will now be on Samrat Chaudhary. BJP had been wanting this department for a long time. Second Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha has got important departments like Revenue and Land Reforms and Mines and Geology.

This is the first time in the history of NDA in Bihar that the Home Department has gone to BJP’s account instead of Nitish Kumar.

After the formation of the new government in Bihar, 26 ministers have taken oath. Now departments have to be divided among ministers. Meanwhile, on Friday (November 21, 2025), a list has come out in which the names of the BJP ministers who took oath and their departments are written. The surprising thing is that Home Department is written in front of Samrat Chaudhary.

Actually the Home Department has been with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. If this list is proved correct and it is approved, then it will be the first time that Nitish Kumar will not have this department. Because this department is such that Nitish Kumar never wants to leave it.

Bihar BJP congratulated ministers

A list has been shared from the X handle of Bihar BJP. In this, the names of 14 ministers and the name of the department are written in front of them. He has been congratulated. The post reads, “Hearty congratulations and best wishes to all the newly appointed honorable ministers of Bihar for being allotted departments! All the honorable ministers who have taken charge with the resolve of public service will give a new direction to good governance and stability under the leadership of respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and popular Chief Minister Shri Nitish Kumar ji.”

Hearty congratulations and best wishes to all the newly appointed honorable ministers of Bihar on being allotted departments!

What did BJP and JDU say about the list?

Regarding this list, BJP’s state media in-charge Danish Iqbal said that it is correct. Not fake. He clearly said that the Home Department is going to Samrat Chaudhary. On the other hand, JDU MLC and spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said that we are not convinced about what is going on right now. There is no authentic letter, so we can’t do anything on it.”

After the formation of NDA government in Bihar, apart from Nitish Kumar, 26 ministers took oath last Thursday. Now after searching the horoscopes of all these ministers, RJD is accusing them of nepotism. In such a situation, when Union Minister Giriraj Singh came before the media on Friday (November 21, 2025), he was questioned on this.

Speaking to the media in Patna, Giriraj Singh said on this, “Lalu Yadav ji cannot respect his family… If he cannot respect his own daughter-in-law, then how will the people of the state respect him? In this, his party has been ruined. Be it Rahul Gandhi or Tejashwi, this should be understood. The manner in which Lalu ji’s daughter and daughter-in-law have accused him of misbehavior… alleging assault, is unfortunate. The people of Bihar have been insulted by this.”

There will be SIR in Bengal: Giriraj Singh

On the other hand, after the Bihar Assembly elections are over, the Election Commission is now busy in conducting Voter Revision (SIR) in 12 states of the country. Even though the preliminary process has started from the Election Commission, there is strong opposition to it. Elections are to be held in West Bengal in 2026. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is also strongly opposing the SIR. On this, BJP leader and Union Minister Giriraj Singh replied bluntly and said that there will be SIR in Bengal.

Giriraj Singh said that Jungle Raj will be ended in West Bengal. Bangladeshi and Rohingya Muslims will be expelled from Bengal. He said, “Mamata Didi will not be able to save us now, we will not let Bengal become Bangladesh.” Let us tell you that the preliminary process of SIR has started in West Bengal. There has been a stir regarding this. Many infiltrators from Bangladesh on the border area are now returning to their country due to fear of SIR, while TMC leaders are also protesting and creating ruckus at various places. In such a situation, now Giriraj Singh has made it clear in a scathing attack that there will be SIR in Bengal under any circumstances.

This time in Bihar Assembly elections, Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) contested on 6 seats and registered a resounding victory on 5 seats. Despite this, none of the winning MLAs of the party got a place in the new cabinet of Nitish Kumar. Still, party chief Jitan Ram Manjhi seems happy and the reason for this is his son Santosh Suman becoming a minister once again.

5 HAM MLAs win, but no one gets ministerial post
The 5 seats won by Hindustani Awam Morcha in this election include-

• Deepa Manjhi from Imamganj (daughter-in-law of Jitan Ram Manjhi)
• Lalan Ram from Kutumba, who defeated Congress President Rajesh Ram
• Barachatti to Jyoti Devi (Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Samdhan)
• Romit Kumar from Atri
• Prafulla Kumar Manjhi from Sikandra

None of these five have been given ministerial post in the Nitish government. This is being considered a big sign in political circles, but no voice of displeasure was raised in the Manjhi group.

Santosh Suman became minister for the third time
Even though the winning MLAs did not get a place in the new government of Nitish Kumar, Jitan Ram Manjhi’s son Santosh Kumar Suman has once again been made a minister. This will be his third term. Suman is the national president of HAM and also a member of Bihar Legislative Council.

Why is Santosh Suman important?
Santosh Suman is considered a leader who is educated and does politics with planning. He has done MA in Political Science from Delhi University. He has passed UGC-NET. He has done PhD from Magadh University. Before coming into politics, he was a lecturer and social worker. While being a minister, he did many works in the Scheduled Caste and Tribe Welfare Department. By resigning from the Nitish cabinet in 2023, he also gave a strong political message on the issue of independent identity of the party.

HAM’s small performance, but big political role
Although, HAM’s performance in the 2025 Bihar elections was not very good, but this party emerged as very important in the political equations. Manjhi’s role in coalition politics has continuously increased and Santosh Suman becoming a minister is the biggest proof of this.

Nitish Kumar took oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar at Gandhi Maidan in Patna on Thursday (20 November). Along with Nitish Kumar, who became the Chief Minister for the 10th time, 26 ministers also took the oath of office and secrecy. This time many new faces have been included in the cabinet, in which a person who did not contest in this election has also been made a minister, his name is Deepak Prakash.

You may not know Deepak Prakash directly, but everyone knows his father very well. Deepak Prakash is the son of prominent leader of Bihar Upendra Kushwaha. Upendra Kushwaha is known for his ‘Lav-Kush’ equation, which links the OBC Kurmi and OBC Kushwaha (Koeri) groups together. These classes have a good population in Bihar and Kushwaha is one of the most influential leaders of this community.

Upendra Kushwaha gave a chance to his son

Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM), as an ally of NDA, won four out of six seats in this election. Despite this, Upendra Kushwaha left his MLAs for the post of minister and gave the opportunity to his son Deepak Prakash, who is currently not a member of any House. He will have to become a member of the Legislative Council or Assembly within the next six months.

On which seats did RLM win?

RLM won Bajpatti, Madhubani, Sasaram and Dinara seats. In Bajpatti, Rameshwar Kumar Mahato won by 3395 votes, in Madhubani, Madhav Anand won by 20,552 votes, in Sasaram, Upendra Kushwaha’s wife Snehlata won by a margin of more than 25 thousand votes and in Dinara, Alo Kumar Singh won by 10,834 votes.

Laddus in both hands of Upendra Kushwaha

Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha formed the new party on 20 February 2023. RLM, contesting assembly elections for the first time, has got a ministerial post in Nitish cabinet. Upendra Kushwaha has established his son Deepak Prakash on the political stage by making him a minister, while his wife will remain active with her victory in the assembly.

‘Less seats, yet more ministerial posts…’, whose power is visible in Bihar’s Nitish cabinet? Read the full list here

A major political upheaval has been seen in the newly formed Nitish Kumar cabinet in Bihar. This time Deepak Prakash has been appointed to the post of minister without becoming an MLA. This step is being seen as a political move by Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) chief Upendra Kushwaha. Initially, the name of his wife Snehlata, who was elected MLA from Sasaram from Kushwaha’s party, was proposed for the post of minister, but at the last moment the equations changed and the situation was completely reversed.

How did Upendra Kushwaha make the deal?

This development is related to Upendra Kushwaha’s displeasure at the time of seat distribution in NDA. It is being said that due to resentment he met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and took the promise of an MLC seat. Taking full advantage of this opportunity, Kushwaha made a big political deal. He made his son Deepak Prakash a minister in place of his wife. It is noteworthy that Deepak Prakash has not participated in any election yet.

Deepak Prakash’s claim confirmed

After joining the Nitish cabinet, it is mandatory for Deepak Prakash to become a member of the Legislature (Legislative Council or Assembly) within six months. With this, his claim for the MLC seat has been confirmed and the political equations have become stronger in his favor.

In this way Upendra Kushwaha achieved two big goals in one effort. He got his son a ministerial post and also ensured the promise of MLC seat from NDA. In such a situation, the strength of Upendra Kushwaha will increase in the Legislative Council also.
