Overview

  • NDA leaders met in Patna and New Delhi to settle cabinet shares and logistics after winning 202 of 243 seats, with the BJP emerging as the single-largest party at 89.
  • JD(U) leaders said there is no vacancy for the chief minister’s post, and Nitish Kumar is expected to be elected legislative party leader after submitting a procedural resignation.
  • The cabinet-allocation debate has coalesced around a 1:6 MLA-to-minister formula, with reports indicating about 15–16 berths for the BJP, roughly 14 for JD(U), and smaller partners getting limited slots.
  • Election officials handed the list of winners to the Governor, preparations began at Gandhi Maidan for an oath ceremony likely on November 19–21, and dates hinge on the Prime Minister’s schedule.
  • The BJP moved to enforce discipline by suspending R.K. Singh, Ashok Kumar Agarwal and Usha Agarwal for alleged anti-party activity, and Singh later resigned from the party’s primary membership.
