Nitish Kumar's New Cabinet LIVE News Updates: Nitish cabinet expansion today; nearly 30 ministers to be in inducted

The Bureau of the FIFA Council has unanimously decided to suspend the All India Football Federation (AIFF) with immediate effect due to undue influence from third parties, which constitutes a serious violation of the FIFA Statutes.

Five years after returning to the NDA fold, Nitish Kumar took another U-turn on August 9 and joined hands with RJD, Congress, and the Left once again. He submitted his resignation to Bihar Governor Phagu Chauhan and staked a claim to form a new government with the support of 164 MLAs. This is Kumar's 8th term as the Chief Minister. Tejashwi Yadav is the Deputy Chief Minister for the 2nd time.

Jitan Ram Manjhi Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) is likely to get one ministerial berth and Congress, which is part of the Grand alliance, is likely to have two cabinet berths. A total of 31 MLAs, including one independent, are likely to take oath as ministers today.

After Kumar’s speech, Tejashwi Yadav tweeted to call it a “historic announcement”. “Many thanks to respected Chief Minister Shri @NitishKumar ji for the historic announcement of arranging 10 lakh jobs and other 10 lakh jobs in Bihar according to the expectations and dreams of the unemployed and youth from Gandhi Maidan. You and I will take Bihar on the path of development and progress. It’s an oath!”

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday announced that his government would create up to 20 lakh jobs within and outside the government as he addressed people on India’s 76th Independence Day.

The RJD, which has the highest number of lawmakers in the Bihar Assembly, is likely to get 16 ministerial berths and the JD(U) is likely to keep 11.
