Bihar Cabinet to Expand on May 7 Amid High-Level Political Gathering in Patna

The Bihar Cabinet will expand on Thursday, May 7, 2026, at Gandhi Maidan in Patna, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP national president Nitin Nabin, according to state party chief Sanjay Saraogi. The event marks a key development in the state's political restructuring following the recent formation of the new government.
Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and his two deputies, Vijay Kumar Choudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav, assumed office on April 15, 2026, after the previous administration ended its term. The upcoming expansion is expected to finalize the allocation of ministerial portfolios and strengthen the ruling alliance's administrative framework.
The Bihar BJP leadership confirmed the high-profile attendance, underscoring the central leadership's direct involvement in the state's governance setup. Security and logistical preparations are underway in Patna for the large-scale event.
The expanded Cabinet will begin functioning immediately, with the first meeting scheduled within the week to review key state development projects and policy initiatives. Official announcements on the new ministers and their portfolios will follow the swearing-in ceremony.
