A day after its expansion, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's cabinet witnessed a high-profile reshuffle on Thursday marking a significant shift in the portfolio allotted earlier to senior ministers. Five ministers from the BJP and one from the Hindustan Awami Morcha, who had two-three departments under their wings, were forced to give up some of them.

However, the reshuffle had no impact on the portfolio held by ministers from the JDU quota. Similarly, the department of independent MLA Sumit Singh also remained unchanged.
