During the Bihar Cabinet expansion, the Chief Minister of the State was joined by the Rashtriya Janata Dal Leader Tejashwi Yadav who became the Deputy Chief Minister. 31 Bihar Cabinet Ministers were sworn in and of these, over half were from RJD, with 11 from Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United), two from the Congress, and one from Hindustani Awam Morcha of the former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi. The 31st Cabinet Minister in the Bihar cabinet is an independent lawmaker.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has kept the Home Department, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has got the Health Department, Vijay Kumar Chaudhary got the Finance Department, and RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav is to be the Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
