Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's Assets: Rs 1.64 Crore Including Delhi Flat and Ford EcoSport

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar disclosed assets totaling Rs 1.64 crore in his latest financial declaration. The JD(U) leader was sworn in for an unprecedented 10th term as Chief Minister on Thursday following the NDA's overwhelming victory in recent assembly elections.

The swearing-in ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and numerous high-ranking NDA officials.

According to his financial statement, Kumar possesses movable assets worth approximately Rs 16.97 lakh. This includes Rs 21,052 in cash, bank deposits of around Rs 60,811, and additional movable assets, fixed deposits, and investments collectively amounting to Rs 16.97 lakh.

His immovable assets are valued at Rs 1.48 crore, which includes a residential apartment in a Dwarka, Delhi cooperative housing society. Kumar's total declared assets have remained relatively stable compared to his 2023 declaration of Rs 1.64 crore, showing minimal year-on-year growth.

The Chief Minister's personal possessions also include 13 cows, 10 calves, and a Ford EcoSport vehicle.

Under Kumar's administration, all cabinet ministers are required to submit annual disclosures of their assets and liabilities on the final day of each calendar year.

Among other ministers, Samrat Choudhary, who previously served as Kumar's deputy and took oath on Thursday, holds Rs 6.7 lakh in cash, while his wife Kumari Mamta possesses Rs 5.7 lakh. Choudhary owns a rifle valued at Rs 4 lakh and immovable property worth Rs 8.28 crore.
