"Nitish Kumar's 9th Term as Bihar CM: Swearing-In, Reactions, and Memes"

Nitish Kumar has been sworn in as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the 9th time, with BJP leaders Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha named as Deputy Chief Ministers. The swearing-in ceremony was attended by BJP president J P Nadda, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the new team, expressing confidence in their commitment to serve the people. Kumar's resignation from the Mahagathbandhan government was followed by the formation of a new alliance, INDIA bloc, which also did not work out well. RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav expressed respect for Kumar but asserted that the game was not over yet. This marks the fifth time since 2013 that Kumar has changed political alliances, with the current NDA government having the support of 123 MLAs, while the opposition has 114 MLAs.

"Rajasthan's Deputy Princess: Diya Kumari's Political Rise"

Diya Kumari, a member of the erstwhile Jaipur royal family and an MP from Rajsamand, has been named one of the two deputy chief ministers of Rajasthan by the BJP. Known as the "People's Princess," Kumari has won three elections since joining the BJP in 2013. She campaigned on issues such as the environment, education, healthcare, and women's empowerment. The other deputy chief minister is Prem Chand Bairwa, an MLA from the Dudu Assembly seat. The BJP's decision to name a Brahmin face as the chief minister and Rajput and scheduled caste leaders as deputy chief ministers is seen as an attempt to balance caste equations.
