Patna: A day after the new Bihar government took charge, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar allocated crucial cabinet portfolios, giving the state’s administrative machinery its fresh structure under the NDA leadership.
Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has been entrusted with one of the most significant responsibilities—the Home Department. His role will include overseeing law and order, policing, and internal security across the state.
Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha has been allotted the Land and Revenue Department along with the Mines and Geology Department, making him responsible for land administration, revenue collection, and Bihar’s mineral resources.
