Major reshuffle in Nitish cabinet before elections in Bihar, departments of many ministers changed

Before the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has made a big change in his cabinet. 7 new ministers were sworn in on Tuesday, after which their departments were divided on Wednesday. During this time, the government not only assigned responsibilities to the new ministers, but also changed the departments of many old ministers.

Some important departments from prominent ministers like Samrat Chaudhary, Vijay Sinha and Santosh Suman have been handed over to new faces, while some departments have been reshuffled. This change is being seen as an attempt to improve the image of the Nitish government and give administrative strength before the upcoming elections.

Nitish Mishra remains the Department of Industry, Tourism Department

Nitish Mishra, who recently succeeded in bringing record investment in Bihar through investor conference, has been maintained in the Department of Industries. But the tourism department has been handed over to the new minister Raju Singh. It is believed that the government is making changes to bring new energy in the tourism sector.

After removing from city development, Nitin Naveen handed over the road construction department

Till now, Nitin Naveen, who is holding the responsibility of the city development department, has been given the responsibility of the Road Construction Department. Since the assembly elections are near, a dedicated minister was needed to improve the condition of the roads.

Earlier this department was with Deputy CM Vijay Sinha, but he also had the responsibility of other departments. Apart from this, Minister Ashok Chaudhary’s Rural Affairs Department is also active about the construction and repair of roads from JDU quota. It is planned to improve 25,000 km of rural roads before the election.

Agriculture department snatched by Mangal Pandey, new responsibility to Vijay Sinha

Mangal Pandey had the health and agriculture departments till now, but now he has been handed over to Vijay Sinha with the Department of Agriculture.

Nitish government has a special focus on the agriculture sector. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the farmers’ public meeting in Bhagalpur, where Bihar was given several gifts in the agricultural sector. In such a situation, the effective management of the Ministry of Agriculture became very important for the electoral strategy.
