However, party sources confirmed to India Today that Nishant has dismissed the possibilities, saying that he wants to focus on the organisational responsibilities, something he mentioned during his time of induction.

 

Meanwhile, preparations have intensified for the new cabinet in the state. BJP leader Samrat Chowdhury, who is likely to succeed Nitish Kumar as the next Bihar CM, is supervising all the preparations.

As sources from the Lok Bhawan (the official residence and office of the Governor of Bihar) confirmed, the new cabinet will take oath on April 15, around 11 am.

Before the swearing-in ceremony, Shravan Kumar, a Bihar minister and a close aide of Nitish Kumar, met Samrat Chowdhury at the latter’s residence. The two had a 20-minute-long conversation.
