Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrapped up his visit to Patna’s Gandhi Maidan on Thursday with his characteristic ‘gamcha’ wave to the crowd, moments after Nitish Kumar was sworn in as Chief Minister of Bihar for a record tenth time. The gesture, now familiar at several of Modi’s public appearances, drew loud cheers as the Prime Minister boarded his helicopter following the ceremony.
Nitish Kumar took oath at 11:30 am, with Governor Arif Mohammad Khan administering the oath of office and secrecy at the historic venue.
