Bihar has received a big shock on the very first day of the new National Democratic Alliance government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After the swearing-in on Sunday night, a cabinet meeting was held on Monday and ministries were announced in the evening. Contrary to expectations, Bihar was not given the Railway Ministry. Apart from this, the party of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who is being called the kingmaker of the government, Janata Dal United, has not got a very important department. According to this, the weight of Jitan Ram Manjhi and Chirag Paswan seems to be more at first glance. Giriraj Singh seems to be in a good position in the cabinet as before.
