Patna, April 14

The outgoing Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, on Tuesday chaired the State Cabinet meeting at the Old Secretariat.

Before the Cabinet meeting, the outgoing chief minister also paid floral tributes to Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar on his 135th birth anniversary.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Vinod Narayan Jha informed that a meeting of the BJP Legislative Party will be held from 2 pm onwards and after that there will be an NDA meeting.

Speaking to reporters here, the BJP MLA added, "From 2 pm onwards, a meeting of the BJP Legislative Party will be held, after which there will be an NDA meeting. Our national leaders are coming here."

Bharatiya Janata Party's National General Secretary (Org) BL Santhosh also arrived in Patna to attend the meeting.

Furthermore, Janta Dal (United) National Working President and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Kumar Jha lauded the political journey of Bihar under outgoing Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, calling it an "emotional moment" for the people of the state.

He asserted that the present government and future administrations will continue to function under Nitish Kumar's guidance.

Speaking to reporters on the political developments in the state, Jha said the transformation of the state under Nitish Kumar had restored pride among its people. "This is an emotional moment for the 140 million people of Bihar. We always say that we felt ashamed to say we are Bihari before Nitish ji's arrival, and after his arrival, Bihar's respect and prestige remained intact," he said.

On Monday, Bihar BJP State President Sanjay Saraogi said that a meeting of the BJP Legislature Party will be held at 3 pm today at the party office to elect its leader, with Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan attending as the central observer.

The tribute to Babasaheb Ambedkar on his birth anniversary is a respectful touch. Governance should always remember the constitutional ideals he gave us. Now, let's see if the NDA meeting brings a clear roadmap for Bihar's future.

All these meetings... Old Secretariat, BJP Legislative Party, NDA. Feels like a lot of political maneuvering. The common Bihari just wants the roads fixed, electricity stable, and jobs for the youth. Hope that remains the focus.

With national leaders and observers coming in, the transition seems smooth so far. Stability is crucial for investment. Nitish ji's guidance will be valuable, but fresh energy and ideas are also needed for the next leap.

Respectfully, while law and order improved, the promise of "vikas" (development) in terms of industrial growth and high-quality education remained incomplete. The next administration has a tough job ahead to build on the foundation.

The sentiment about not feeling ashamed to be Bihari anymore is so real! That psychological shift was his biggest contribution. Now, hoping for a leader who can match that and also deliver on economic promises. 🤞
