Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is scheduled to chair a crucial Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, April 14.
Sources indicate that the meeting is likely to agree on several important items on the agenda.
Sources told the news agency that this may be the last meeting of the current Cabinet. After the meeting, Nitish Kumar may submit his resignation.
Sources confirmed to ANI that Bihar could get a new chief minister on April 15.
Earlier in the day, Janata Dal (United) working president and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Kumar Jha asserted that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar remains deeply committed to the development of the state, even if he does not serve in the post.
The party contested from Bihar for 2025-30 under the leadership of Nitish Kumar with the support of the NDA, and the new government will continue its policies and governance model, Jha said.
“As far as Bihar is concerned, we contested the electoral mandate for 2025-30 under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and with the support of the NDA. The Prime Minister has been campaigning regularly and the new government will continue Nitish Ji’s policies and work under his supervision. Even if he is not the Prime Minister, his focus remains on Bihar, and he travels to Delhi only to attend Parliament sessions,” he said.
Nitish Kumar took oath as Rajya Sabha MP on April 10.
His role in managing alliance politics was fundamental to the NDA’s rule in Bihar.
His move to the Rajya Sabha represents the fulfillment of his long-stated ambition to serve in every legislative house in India, including the Bihar Assembly, Bihar Legislative Council, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
Kumar resigned from the Bihar Legislative Council after being elected to the upper house of Parliament. MLC Sanjay Gandhi submitted his resignation to Speaker Awadhesh Narayan Singh. (that I)
