Nitish Kumar to Take Oath on November 20

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is likely to take oath for the 10th time on November 20 at the historic Gandhi Maidan in Patna. Gandhi Maidan has traditionally been the venue for Nitish Kumar's oath ceremonies, symbolizing both celebration and his historic victories. Whenever he has achieved a clear majority, he has chosen this venue for a grand oath-taking ceremony.

Historic 10th Term

This will be the third time that Nitish Kumar takes oath from Gandhi Maidan. The celebrations are expected to be jubilant as he achieved a "200-plus" victory in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Out of 243 assembly seats, the BJP won 89 seats, his party Janata Dal (United) won 85 seats, Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) secured 19 seats, Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) won 5 seats, and Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Party won 4 seats. In total, NDA secured 202 seats.

Political Significance

The oath ceremony at Gandhi Maidan symbolizes both a historic win and public welfare focus. With the NDA's decisive victory, the event is expected to draw massive crowds and showcase the political strength of the coalition.
