Khera’s message was equal parts congratulations and challenge, nudging the NDA in Bihar to deliver on their poll promises. “At least do something that hasn’t been done in 20 years,” he quipped. Looks like Nitish has fans, critics, and a few playful reminders to keep him on his toes!
Speaking to ANI, Khera asked Nitish Kumar and the NDA in Bihar to fulfil their poll promises.
“We congratulate Nitish Kumar ji and hope that he doesn’t suffer any ‘dhoka’, and he is able to complete his term. At least he should be able to do something that has not been done in the last 20 years. No matter how they won in Bihar, they should fulfil their promises,” the Congress leader said.
Nitish Kumar Makes History: 10th Term, 10 Times The Legacy
History was made yet again in Bihar as Janata Dal (United) chief Nitish Kumar took oath as Chief Minister for a record 10th time! With Prime Minister Narendra Modi and top NDA leaders looking on, Nitish once again claimed his place in Bihar’s political hall of fame.
The swearing-in at Patna’s iconic Gandhi Maidan, a ground that has seen revolutions, rallies, and political drama, felt almost poetic. From 2005 to 2015, and now 2025, Nitish has consistently proven his staying power, resilience, and leadership.
Ten terms aren’t just numbers; they’re a testament to a political journey that has survived coalition twists, electoral battles, and the ever-changing sands of Bihar politics. Truly, Bihar has a statesman in Nitish Kumar!
