Official sources gave this information on Monday. According to sources, preparations are going on at Gandhi Maidan in Patna for the swearing-in ceremony.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Bihar unit president Dilip Jaiswal said that the newly elected MLAs will meet on Tuesday to elect the leader of their legislative party. He said, “It is likely that the swearing-in ceremony of the new government will take place on November 20 or 21.”
