Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday (21 November 2025) distributed departments in his cabinet, under which Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary has been given the charge of Home Department. This is the first time during Nitish Kumar’s tenure as Chief Minister that he will not have the Home Department. Before this, this department had remained with him throughout his tenure. If we look at the complete list of division of departments in Bihar, the Home Ministry may have gone to BJP’s account, but JDU has many important departments.
These big departments will remain with JDU
JDU’s Bijendra Yadav is the oldest minister in the Bihar cabinet, he was given the responsibility of finance, commercial tax, energy, planning development. Vijay Chaudhary has been assigned the Department of Water Resources, Building Construction and Parliamentary Affairs. Apart from this, Ashok Chaudhary has been given the responsibility of Rural Affairs Department, Sunil Kumar has been given the responsibility of Education Department. These are all such departments, which are considered very important from the development point of view of the state.
BJP has the highest number of ministers in the new cabinet
NDA government has been formed for the 8th time under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. In the current cabinet, 14 leaders from Bihar, 9 from JDU, 2 from LJP (R), one each from HAM and RLD have been made ministers. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has the responsibility of general administration, cabinet secretariat, monitoring, elections as well as all such departments which have not been allotted to anyone.
Home department went to BJP’s account
The power of the Bharatiya Janata Party, which emerged as the largest party by winning 89 seats in the Bihar Assembly elections, is clearly visible in the Nitish cabinet. The responsibility of law and order of Bihar will now be on Samrat Chaudhary. BJP was wanting this department for a long time. Second Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha has got important departments like Revenue and Land Reforms and Mines and Geology.
