Bihar Politics: The tenure of Bihar’s current Legislative Assembly is set to end on November 22, 2025, and discussions about the potential cabinet formation following the NDA’s landslide victory are already gaining momentum in political circles.

He said that the ceremony is scheduled to take place soon and added that there should be some clarity soon.
Paswan’s party, the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) [LJPRV], contested the elections as part of the NDA alliance and delivered an impressive performance, winning 19 of the 29 seats it contested.
"It will happen very soon. I think discussions are ongoing from today to tomorrow. I believe there will be clarity about the shape of the government. Tonight, I may also meet some key personalities for discussions. I feel that by today or tomorrow, the framework will be ready. The government needs to be formed before the 22nd of November," he said to reporters.
