Nitish Kumar's swearing-in ceremony: As it happened

Nitish Kumar on Thursday took oath as Bihar Chief Minister with Bharatiya Janata Party as a partner of his Janata Dal-United, a day after quitting the Grand Alliance. BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi was sworn in as Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister. This is Nitish Kumar's second innings in the last two years, after he snapped ties late on Wednesday with the Grand Alliance partners Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress, over corruption charges against Lalu Prasad's son and deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav.
