The BJP-led NDA coalition government is set to form for the third time in the nation. Bihar’s JDU and Andhra Pradesh’s TDP will hold significant positions in this administration. Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi, Nitish Kumar, and Chandrababu Naidu will also play pivotal roles in Narendra Modi’s third cabinet. There are talks in political circles about some of Nitish Kumar’s MPs securing spots in the Modi cabinet.

Sources indicate that JDU MPs Lallan Singh and Ramnath Thakur are confirmed for ministerial positions. Only two ministers from the JDU quota will be sworn in at Narendra Modi’s inauguration ceremony tomorrow. The agreement was reached during a meeting with JP Nadda yesterday. Speculation suggests that this time, 8 to 10 MPs from JDU Bihar may be appointed as ministers in the Modi cabinet.

Media reports suggest that the inclusion of MPs in the Modi cabinet will consider Bihar’s caste dynamics. Noteworthy figures from various caste backgrounds in Bihar may secure cabinet positions. Currently, among the two Bihar MPs expected in the Modi cabinet, MP Lallan Singh from Munger Lok Sabha seat is prominent. Lallan Singh hails from the upper caste Bhumihar community of Bihar.

Being the second most influential leader in Nitish Kumar’s JDU after him, he stands as one of Nitish Kumar’s close associates, elevating his chances of ministerial appointment. Another MP from Bihar, Ramnath Thakur, might take oath at tomorrow’s ceremony. Ramnath, the son of Bharat Ratna Karpoori Thakur and a Rajya Sabha MP from JDU, could be included in the Modi cabinet to attract the vote bank of the extremely backward class.

Chirag Paswan To Join Modi Cabinet

Sources suggest that Lok Janshakti Party president Chirag Paswan might be sworn in as a minister tomorrow. He could join Modi’s cabinet. Five candidates from Chirag Paswan’s party contested the elections, all of whom won and became MPs. Chirag Paswan may receive recognition for this accomplishment.

Sources suggest that Jitan Ram Manjhi may also play a significant role in the Modi cabinet. He could be offered a position in the cabinet to garner support from the Dalit community in Bihar. If he secures a ministerial post at the Centre, he could wield considerable influence in securing victory in the Bihar assembly elections.
