The grand oath-taking ceremony was held at Gandhi Maidan in Patna, where several senior leaders and newly elected ministers also took oath. This event marks the beginning of the 18th Bihar Legislative Assembly, formed after the recent assembly elections.
Before the new government was formed, Nitish Kumar submitted his resignation to Governor Arif Mohammad Khan as the term of the current assembly ends on November 22. This step was necessary to officially start the new assembly and form the next government.
