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.

The politics of Bihar is welcoming a historic moment today. Nitish Kumar, who has been the center of stability and experience in the state’s politics for a long time, has taken oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the 10th time. Like last time, this time also two Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha also took oath along with him. This clearly shows the message of balance of power and division of work within the new government.

Nitish Kumar taking oath for the 10th time is a new political chapter for Bihar. From the new team with Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha, the public expects better administration, speedy development works and stable government. Today is going to add another important page in the history of Bihar politics.

NDA achieved a big success by winning 202 seats

NDA has achieved a major success by winning a total of 202 seats in the recently held Bihar Assembly elections. This victory is not only a proof of the strength of NDA, but also once again confirms the popularity and leadership ability of Nitish Kumar in the political scenario of Bihar. After this big victory, today Gandhi Maidan of Patna is completely ready for the swearing-in ceremony.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended

Extensive preparations were made to make the swearing-in ceremony of Bihar Chief Minister grand. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself attended the ceremony. Along with him, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, several Union Ministers, heads of NDA constituent parties, Chief Ministers of various states and senior leaders at the national level were also present. This swearing-in ceremony is also going to prove to be a big platform to showcase the unity and political power of NDA.

Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha took oath as Bihar Deputy CM.

There are many political equations behind the decision to appoint two Deputy CMs. Samrat Choudhary was considered a contender for the post of Chief Minister, while Vijay Sinha is counted among the strong leadership of BJP. By giving both of them the post of Deputy Chief Minister, NDA has tried to achieve organizational balance, social representation and political message. Due to this, the expectation of strengthening the functioning of the government in the coming days has also increased.

Tight security arrangements at Gandhi Maidan

Tight security arrangements have been made for the oath taking ceremony at Gandhi Maidan. The entire area is buzzing with the activities of police, administrative officials and technical teams. Special arrangements have been made for surveillance, barricading and VIP movement through drone cameras.

Nitish Kumar Shapath Grahan: The politics of Bihar is again at a decisive juncture. Amidst the possibilities of change of power, a date is making rounds in the political circles ’20 November 2025′. This date is currently being considered as a possible date for the oath-taking, but the real question is why this date? Is this only the result of the thinking of the administrative officials or is there such energy of this day which even the leaders cannot ignore?

Astrology, Numerology, Madini Shastra and ancient texts Brihat Samhita, Muhurta Chintamani and Matsya Purana describe this date as extremely unusual and when it is combined with the central political energy of the ruling power of Bihar i.e. Nitish Kumar, NDA and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the picture becomes even deeper.

Shocking sign of Nitish’s 10th oath

If the oath takes place on November 20, it will be Nitish Kumar’s 10th oath. The root number of number 10 is 1 and the lord of number 1 is Sun, which is the planet of power, ego, leadership and decisiveness. This means that this oath will be the beginning of Nitish 10.0, a version which is more indicative of tough decisions rather than softness. The scriptures say that the Sun-dominated Muhurta gives birth to a harsh form of power.

A rare coincidence happening after 20 years!

There will be a new moon till the morning of November 20, a date which is considered negative by the common people, but in political scriptures it is called the rebirth of the royal cycle. According to astrology, if the beginning of power occurs with auspicious yoga at the end of Amavasya, then the rule is long and effective. Overall, this is a reset button for Nitish and NDA. A time when the old energy ends and a new era of power begins.

Thursday to enhance coordination between center and state

November 20, 2025 is Thursday and the lord of this day is Jupiter, the planet of politics, cabinet, policy and justice. Thursday in Chintamani Muhurta is considered best for government work. It has a direct connection with governance and politics. Only Jupiter i.e. Guru gives a high position in politics.

If seen, this coincidence is also connected with the horoscope of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This time is Sun-Jupiter dominant for them. This means that this date further strengthens Modi’s leadership and the command structure of NDA. Simply put, if the oath takes place on November 20, the Centre’s hold on Bihar will be more influential than ever before.

Journey from power struggle to cooperation

On November 20, the Nakshatra will be Vishakha in the morning and Anuradha will start after 10:58 am. While Vishakha is a factor of conflict, conflict and disagreement, Anuradha Nakshatra shows friendship, alliance and coordination. According to Brihat Samhita, this constellation change starts the journey from conflict within power to cooperation. That is, the beginning will seem a bit controversial, but gradually the new alliance will seem to become stable and strong.

In Bihar, the oath of Chief Minister has been taking place at two places, Raj Bhavan and Gandhi Maidan. According to Vastu, the direction energy in both is very powerful. The main entrance of the Raj Bhavan faces east which reflects the direction of the sun. Gandhi Maidan in the north-east influence zone. Muhurat Shastra says that any royal work done from East or North-East direction never gets interrupted. That is, the space-energy also matches the planetary structure of 20 November.

Role of NDA and PMO?

The horoscope of November 20 strengthens three things-

1. power direction by central leadership
2. Tightening of alliance from Prime Minister level
3. Decisive intervention of the Center in major decisions of the state

This means that the role of PMO will increase immensely in the decisions taken in the coming years in Bihar.

Future of Bihar and 5 big possible events

If the oath taking ceremony takes place on 20th November 2025, then according to Madini astrology, the following changes may be seen in the next years for Bihar-

1. First year – strict administration and big actions

The influence of Saturn-Aries makes administration fast and harsh. Big decisions on police, law and order and bureaucracy.

2. Initial conflict in alliance, then stability

The change of constellation from Vishakha to Anuradha gives this pattern. The first 90 days will be stressful and after that a situation of strength and coordination will be visible.

3. Budget 2026 – big shock or big experiment

The movement of Jupiter indicates comprehensive improvements in education, agriculture and infrastructure.

4. Opposition at its weakest in 2026–27

Rahu-Ketu repeatedly weaken the opposition’s strategy. That means the government will dominate the opposition and will not give any chance.

5. 2027-Major restructuring within power

A major reshuffle of ministries, change in administrative faces, and a new round of political equations will begin.
