Nishant Kumar, the son of former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, is set to be inducted into the state cabinet under Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary. Multiple reports say the move comes shortly after Nishant Kumar joins JD(U) and is presented as part of a broader cabinet expansion in the NDA government. The Times of India reports that he may join the cabinet on May 7 and later describes his induction as part of a cabinet expansion ceremony expected to draw senior NDA leaders. The Hindu similarly states that Nishant Kumar is expected to join on May 7, describing it as a decision influenced by senior JD(U) functionaries after he had joined the party less than two months earlier. Business Standard reports that Nishant Kumar takes an oath as a minister, alongside 31 other ministers, marking his formal entry into politics and the state cabinet. Across outlets, the decision is linked to the post-assembly election formation and strengthening of the NDA’s governing team, with JD(U) and BJP partners operating under the Samrat Choudhary-led state government.
