BJP’s influence over Bihar bureaucracy likely to deepen. Amit Shah’s team already has a list?

Rumour is rife that the BJP, which secured a significant share of seats in the NDA’s Bihar win, will have substantial influence over key bureaucratic appointments. Central leadership, with Home Minister Amit Shah at the helm, reportedly has a list of favored candidates for deliberately crucial positions across the administration. This influence could shape Bihar’s governance landscape, aligning bureaucratic leadership with the party’s developmental and political aims. The anticipation is that BJP-backed officers will be selected or retained in pivotal roles such as district magistrates, divisional commissioners, and secretariat heads to ensure well-organized policy implementation and political stability. This manipulation reflects the party’s intent to consolidate power within the state’s civil service, effectively managing Bihar’s administrative machinery to support the NDA’s longer-term vision in the region.
