Even as preparations are under way and the stage is being prepped for Nitish Kumar's swearing-in ceremony at Patna's Gandhi Maidan on Friday afternoon, there is a buzz about the ministers likely to be inducted in the Bihar cabinet.
If speculation is to be believed, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's sons Tej Pratap and Tejaswi Yadav will be sworn in as ministers.
There is some uncertainty if Lalu's younger son Tejaswi, a first timer who won the election from the Raghopur constituency, will be made deputy chief minister.
"Both Tej Pratap and Tejaswi will be ministers," a senior RJD leader, who is close to Lalu, said.
RJD leaders said that no matter what post Tejaswi is handed in the cabinet, he will take the oath after Nitish Kumar at the swearing-in ceremony, to be followed by his pious brother, Tej Pratap.
Lalu has not yet announced the leader of the RJD legislature party after the 80 newly elected party MLAs authorised him to do so.
