Sources indicate CM Nitish Kumar may resign after a crucial cabinet meeting, with Bihar likely to get a new Chief Minister on April 15.

"Even if he is not Chief Minister, his focus remains on Bihar - Sanjay Kumar Jha"

Patna, April 12

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is set to chair a crucial Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, April 14.

Sources indicate that the meeting is likely to approve several important agenda items.

Sources told ANI that this could be the last meeting of the current Council of Ministers. Following the meeting, Nitish Kumar may tender his resignation.

Bihar could get a new Chief Minister on April 15, the sources confirmed to ANI.

Earlier in the day, Janata Dal (United) Working President and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Kumar Jha asserted that the Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, continues to remain deeply committed to the state's development, even if he is not serving in that position.

Jha said that the party contested the 2025-30 mandate in Bihar under Nitish Kumar's leadership with the support of the NDA, and the new government would carry forward his policies and governance model.

"As far as Bihar is concerned, we contested the 2025-30 election mandate under Nitish Kumar's leadership with the support of the NDA. The Prime Minister campaigned regularly, and the new government will continue Nitish Ji's policies and work under his guidance. Even if he is not Chief Minister, his focus remains on Bihar, travelling to Delhi only for Parliament sessions," he said.

Nitish Kumar took oath as a Rajya Sabha MP on April 10.

His role in managing alliance politics has been key to the NDA's rule in Bihar.

His move to the Rajya Sabha marks the fulfillment of his long-stated ambition to serve in every legislative house in India, including the Bihar Assembly, the Bihar Legislative Council, the Lok Sabha, and the Rajya Sabha.

Kumar resigned from his membership of the Bihar Legislative Council after being elected to the upper house of Parliament. MLC Sanjay Gandhi submitted his resignation to Council Chairman Awadhesh Narayan Singh.

Interesting move. Completing his service in every legislative house is a unique personal achievement. But the real question is, who will step up? The new leadership must maintain the governance momentum, especially in education and women's safety.

As a Bihari, I have mixed feelings. Sushasan Babu brought law and order and roads. But the frequent political U-turns are frustrating. Let's see if his "guidance" from Delhi actually works for the state. The new face needs to be strong and decisive.

Respectfully, while his administrative experience is vast, this feels like a carefully managed exit. The party says his policies will continue, but will the new CM have the same authority? Bihar needs continuity, not just in name but in action. Hope the transition is smooth.

From an outside perspective, it's a fascinating political maneuver. Securing a Rajya Sabha seat and planning the succession simultaneously shows long-term strategy. The key will be whether the NDA alliance remains cohesive with a new chief minister at the helm.

All the best to Nitish Kumar ji for his next chapter! 🙏 His work for Bihar's women and girls through schemes like bicycle distribution was revolutionary. I just hope the next leader is equally committed to social empowerment and doesn't roll back any progress.
