Bihar's NDA government, led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, is expected to expand its cabinet after January 15, following the conclusion of the inauspicious Kharmas period. The expansion could include up to 10 new ministers, potentially introducing new faces. The current cabinet has 25 ministers, with a maximum of 36 allowed in the 243-member assembly. Recent discussions between JD(U) and BJP leaders in Delhi reportedly addressed the expansion, with speculation of further political developments in the state.
