In a post in Hindi on he micro-blogging site X, formerly known as Twitter, PM Modi said "The NDA government formed in Bihar will leave no stone unturned for the development of the state and to fulfill the aspirations of its people. I congratulate Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ji and Samrat Chaudhary ji and Vijay Sinha ji on taking oath as Deputy Chief Ministers."

"I am confident that this team will serve my family members of the state with full dedication," PM Modi added.

After taking the Chief Minister's oath, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar told the media that members of his party were not happy with the alliance with RJD, so JDU parted ways with Mahagathbandhan.

Janata Dal-United believes in working for the development of Bihar and the people of Bihar. We were misguided in between, but now we are back with the original alliance, CM Nitish said.

Bihar's newly elected Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary, after the swearing-in ceremony, said, "We will win all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar. In 2020 we won the elections and defeated Lalu Yadav's family and will do the same in future also."
