Patna: Nitish Kumar chaired his final cabinet meeting on Tuesday, marking the end of his tenure as he prepares to step down from office. The veteran leader recommended the dissolution of the council of ministers, a constitutional step required before formally submitting his resignation to the Governor.
During the brief meeting, Kumar informed his cabinet colleagues about his decision and reflected on his years in office. In a short address, he highlighted the key initiatives and governance efforts undertaken since he first assumed power in 2005. He stated that he had done his best during his tenure and expressed confidence that the incoming government would continue the work, adding that his guidance would remain available in the future.
Kumar, who is currently a member of the Rajya Sabha, is expected to meet the Governor later in the day to formally submit his resignation. The move signals a significant political transition in Bihar, bringing an end to one of the state’s longest-serving leadership periods.
His tenure has been marked by multiple political shifts and alliances, along with a focus on development schemes and administrative reforms. Over the years, Kumar has played a central role in shaping Bihar’s political landscape, often influencing broader national dynamics as well.
The decision to step down follows internal and political developments, though the next course of action regarding leadership in the state is yet to be officially announced. Attention now turns to the formation of a new government and the direction it will take in continuing governance and policy implementation.
The development marks a pivotal moment in Bihar politics, with Kumar’s departure expected to have both immediate and long-term implications for the state’s leadership and political alignments.
