Nitish Kumar, who established his ace in the politics of Bihar, not only changed the picture of the state but also strengthened the social and political structure. This is the reason why this time too the NDA alliance under his leadership crossed the 200 mark. Nitish Kumar, who has a political career spanning four decades, will take oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the 10th time. In such a situation, today we are telling about his political career. If we look at the journey of Nitish Kumar, known for his strategic moves and sharp political perspective, for the first time in 1977, Nitish Kumar contested elections from Harnaut seat. Nitish had to face defeat in this election. After this, in 1980, Nitish contested elections from Harnaut seat and again lost. After this, he had vowed that if he lost the elections in 1985, he would leave politics, but fate had something else in store. He became MLA in 1985. Since then he has become Chief Minister several times. In 1985, Nitish Kumar won the Bihar Assembly elections from Harnaut in Nalanda district. Four years later, he won the Barh Lok Sabha seat and entered national politics. In 1990, he was made the Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Cooperation in the VP Singh government. In 1994, he separated from Lalu Prasad Yadav and chose his independent path. He formed the Samata Party along with George Fernandes this year. In 1996, Samata Party came into alliance with BJP and won 6 Lok Sabha seats from Bihar.

Whenever the image of a development man and justice-giving politician will be remembered in politics, then he will be none other than Nitish Kumar, born from the land of Chanakya and Buddha, disciple of JP and standing at the top position in the line to become the Chief Minister for the 10th consecutive time, he will continue to shine as the pole star of Bihar politics.

JDU supremo Nitish Kumar, who was once again elected leader of the NDA legislature party with a clear majority, will take oath as the Chief Minister. A grand swearing-in ceremony will be organized at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. Chief Ministers of NDA ruled states including Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself will participate in the event.

But, there is one thing that will be said about Nitish Kumar that how he became the silent killer of Bihar politics in no time.

How has been Nitish’s political journey so far?

Nitish’s image developed as a leader who enters the election field without any fanfare and has the expertise to convert the voters of Bihar towards himself. His social equation, development plans and giving courage to the culture of the state.

To understand all these things we have to go back a little. If we look at Nitish Kumar’s politics of 20 years, his entire politics was politics of development along with justice. Nitish gave courage to the girls of Bihar. Showed them the way out of the courtyard. Apart from this, he also introduced the most backward society to the aspects of justice and development.

He connected women to the path of development under the Jeevika Didi scheme. Gave a chance to raise my head. Women came forward breaking the caste barriers.

Nitish is expert in social engineering

Nitish has been very much talked about regarding social engineering. The equation of Kurmi and Koeri castes gave Nitish the strength to remain in power. In Bihar, Nitish worked as a bridge between the Kurmi and Koeri castes, known as the couple of Luv Kush. He maintained balance in ticket distribution between the two.

One more thing.. due to which Nitish’s face started being called the biggest secular face in the state. He never harbored bitterness towards the Muslim community. Apart from this, he also kept the Sarvan community included in his political circle. This sent a message throughout Bihar that Nitish Kumar belongs to everyone. The courage given to women transformed into votes in favor of Nitish. He emerged as the most trusted face of women.

Apart from this, Nitish Kumar was also appreciated for women when he gave the historic decision of prohibition in the entire state. In this the housewives got relief. Although the society seemed class divided, Nitish Kumar emerged as a character of faith for women. Here, by giving Rs 10,000, Nitish Kumar deeply strengthened the support of women in the elections.

Apart from these, his coordination with BJP also proved beneficial. While BJP was seen taking advantage of Nitish’s working style and network, no strong opposition to Modi was seen on the ground. This was the reason why NDA’s alliance in Bihar crossed 200.

After the landslide victory in Bihar Assembly, he will now take oath as Chief Minister for the tenth time on Thursday (20 November). A grand swearing-in ceremony will be organized at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Ministers of NDA ruled states will also participate in this program.

The swearing-in ceremony will start at 11.30 am on Thursday (20 November) in Bihar. This program can be watched live on ABP News TV as well as on ABP Live and social media handles of ABP News like YouTube, X and Facebook.

‘Such a ceremony is taking place for the first time’

Regarding the swearing-in ceremony, Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal said that such a swearing-in ceremony is being held for the first time and there is a festive atmosphere. Earlier, the swearing-in ceremony was held at Gandhi Maidan, but this time it is going to be held in a festive atmosphere.

Two to three lakh people will participate

He said that the special thing about this ceremony is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will witness this historic moment. Along with them, about 2-3 lakh voters from across Bihar will also be present. There will be a festive atmosphere, we have moved forward to fulfill the dream of developed Bihar. In the Bihar Assembly elections, people have expressed confidence in Nitish Kumar’s leadership and PM Modi’s guarantee and have given a huge majority.

NDA’s spectacular victory

Let us tell you that in the Bihar Assembly elections, NDA won a landslide victory and won 2023 seats out of 243. The Grand Alliance was defeated in this election. The grand alliance got only 35 seats. Now there will be NDA government in Bihar for the next five years.

Bihar CM Oath Ceremony: Preparations are on for change of power in Bihar. The stir in state politics, meetings in the corridors of Delhi and administrative activities at Gandhi Maidan in Patna all indicate that the swearing in of the new government is likely to take place on November 20 at 11:30 am. The date of swearing-in usually seems like a formal announcement, but in Indian tradition it is considered a mirror of the coming five years of the state.

The importance of the auspicious time of taking oath is not only spiritual or symbolic. This reflects the environment in which the government begins its term. From the old royal courts of India to the modern democracy, the time of beginning of the kingdom has been chosen considering the date, day, constellation and position of the planets. There is no guarantee that the government will succeed or fail, but tradition believes that the calmer and more balanced the energy at the beginning, the less conflict the path ahead will have.

20 November 2025: What does the Panchang indicate?

Tomorrow i.e. Thursday will be the date of Amavasya of Krishna Paksha. In the scriptures, Thursday has been described as a symbol of policy, knowledge, governance and advice. According to the calendar, the time of swearing-in has been kept at 11:30, during which the Moon will transit in Scorpio.

The conjunction of 4 planets in Scorpio is giving big signs

On this day, among all the 12 zodiac signs, Scorpio is the only zodiac sign in which maximum activity is being seen. For many years, a conjunction of four planets has formed in Scorpio, which represents a rare astrological combination. On this day, there will be Anuradha Nakshatra, which is the constellation of Saturn. In politics, Saturn is considered a symbol of the public, this coincidence also indicates auspiciousness.

New government of Bihar, the path is not easy!

The special thing is that the deity of this constellation is Mitra Dev who is also called the god of harmony. This is an excellent coincidence for the alliance. There will be no problem in taking all the allies along. But one of its specialties is that Anuradha Nakshatra has the influence of both Saturn and Mars, due to which qualities like determined, stubborn and very ambitious are also seen. That is, in the coming times, things will be seen in the decisions of the government and the nature of the allies.

What will happen if you take oath on Thursday?

Taking oath on Thursday is considered auspicious in Indian tradition because the work of governance and policy is considered under Guru energy. Shukla Paksha is considered good for new beginnings. Moon being in Scorpio indicates speed in work. That means whatever decision the government takes, it will try to implement it immediately.

Is it right or wrong to choose Gandhi Maidan for swearing in?

Gandhi Maidan is a major public place of Patna. Big political events have been taking place here, hence its selection is natural administratively. In traditional beliefs, open grounds and large public spaces are considered auspicious because they symbolize the direct evidence of the public, widespread acceptance and the open flow of state energy.

History of ‘Nitish’ oath

Nitish Kumar is one of the few leaders of India who took oath several times and each oath opened a new chapter of politics. The change of regime in 2005 was a steady start, and the alliance remained intact throughout. In 2010, the oath taking ceremony took place at a relatively balanced time. The five-year tenure was completed without any major controversy. The transition of 2017 occurred during turbulent political times and the power equation changed within a year and a quarter.

These examples prove that in Bihar politics, the ‘beginning’ often decides the future direction, be it the planets, the public mood or the Centre-State equation.

What is the political signal of Modi, Nitish and NDA?

Thursday makes the role of the Center stronger. Nitish’s experience and PMO’s political strategy indicate stability in the initial months. There will be coordination within the NDA initially, but in the first 60-90 days, there may be slight tussle regarding ministries. Traditionally it is not considered a factor affecting long-term stability, but is considered part of the initial energy balance.

What will be the opposition?

The current movement of Rahu-Ketu does not allow the opposition to organize immediately. The position of the Moon also gives an initial edge to the ruling party at the time of oath taking. But it is also true that the political rise of the opposition may intensify again in the middle of 2026. This trend is not only of the planets but also of the political cycle.

2025-2030: What will be the direction of Bihar?

1. 2025-26: Administrative speed, Centre-State coordination, policy reforms
2. 2026-27: Some reshuffle in the cabinet
3. 2027-29: A period of stability and big decisions
4. 2030: Possibilities of change in the form of leadership and alliance

Overall, the moment of oath does not decide the fate of the state, but under the energy of which planet or constellation it begins, it definitely becomes the tune of the coming years.
