Who are the leaders taking oath?

Senior JDU leaders Bijendra Prasad Yadav and Vijay Kumar Chaudhary are expected to become Deputy Chief Ministers. They will take oath along with the Chief Minister. This move highlights the importance of alliance balance. It also shows JDU’s strong role in the government.

What about the rest of the cabinet?

Other ministers will not be sworn in immediately. Leaders from BJP, JDU and allied parties will be included later. This includes members from LJP-R, HAM and RLM. The cabinet will be expanded in phases. Discussions are still ongoing.

When will the cabinet expansion happen?

Sources suggest that Samrat Chaudhary will first prove his majority in the Assembly. After that, the cabinet expansion will take place. Many existing leaders may retain their positions. Final decisions are yet to be made.

Will election results impact decisions?

There are indications that expansion may be delayed. BJP sources say decisions could come after election results in states like West Bengal and Assam. Until then, the government will function with a limited setup. This is being seen as a strategic move.

Is there no full agreement yet?
