Having been sworn in as the Bihar Chief Minister for the 10th time, Nitish Kumar is expected to surpass Jyoti Basu’s tenure, who remained West Bengal’s CM for 23 years, provided all goes well in the newly formed NDA government for the next five years.
If he manages to maintain cohesion within the NDA, the Janata Dal (United) chief could join the ranks of long-serving Chief Ministers like Pawan Kumar Chamling of Sikkim and Naveen Patnaik of Odisha, who led their states for nearly 25 and over 24 years, respectively.
