The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) emphatic win in the high-stakes Delhi assembly elections has cast a positive impact in the ruling camp in Bihar.

Nitish Kumar will take oath as Bihar's chief minister for the 8th time today (Wednesday) afternoon at 2pm, after leaving BJP on Tuesday and forming new "Grand Alliance" with Tejashwi Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and other Opposition parties. Tejashwi Yadav will take oath as Deputy Chief Minister.
