With the BJP falling short of a majority, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is expected to demand at least four Cabinet berths, early state polls, and increased central funds for Bihar. The JD(U), with 12 MPs, has become crucial for the BJP-led NDA to form the government. Kumar aims for portfolios like railways, rural development, and water resources to boost state infrastructure projects. Additionally, he is pushing for early assembly polls within six months and higher central funds to support Bihar's socio-economic initiatives, including the Bihar Laghu Udhyami Yojana, to aid 9.4 million poor families.
