In a captivating turn of events, Bihar stands on the brink of hosting its record 9th swearing-in ceremony, a momentous occasion triggered by the resignation of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

His rapid resurgence, supported by the unwavering backing of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), culminated in the speedy reclamation of the CM seat within a single day.

This extraordinary sequence underscores the inherent volatility of political alliances, emphasizing their ever-changing nature.

Adding an unexpected layer to the unfolding narrative, Samrat Chaudhary, a prominent figure in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) who had previously vowed to remove Nitish Kumar, has surprisingly extended his support.

Chaudhary is poised to assume the role of Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar alongside Vijay Sinha, further intensifying the intrigue surrounding the political landscape.

Notably, Vijay Sinha, despite past differences with Nitish Kumar during his tenure as the speaker, is now part of the unfolding political realignment.

The swearing-in ceremony for these appointments is scheduled for the evening, marking a swift restructuring of Bihar`s political hierarchy.
