Bihar is on the cusp of a new era as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar holds what is expected to be his final Cabinet meeting, paving the way for a leadership transition. The veteran politician, in office since 2005, is set to tender his resignation, bringing to a close an eventful 21-year tenure.
Kumar, a stalwart figure in Bihar’s politics, has presided over three consecutive terms, steering the state through various challenges and initiatives aimed at transforming its economy and improving its infrastructure. Throughout his time in power, he has remained a dominant force in the state’s political landscape.
According to sources close to the Chief Minister, the meeting, which took place on Friday, is a crucial step towards ensuring a smooth handover of power to his successor. Despite the speculation surrounding his departure, the timing and details of Kumar’s exit remain uncertain.

Kumar’s nearly two-decade-long tenure has witnessed significant improvements in healthcare, education, and rural development. Bihar has seen substantial progress in terms of GDP growth and literacy rates, with the state now standing as one of the fastest-growing in India.
Nitish Kumar’s departure from the Chief Minister’s post marks a moment of transition in Bihar’s history, setting the stage for a new generation of leaders to shape the state’s destiny.
