Patna: In a dramatic turn of events, Nitish Kumar convened a crucial cabinet meeting on Tuesday, setting the stage for a significant political transition in Bihar. With strong indications of his imminent resignation, attention has now shifted to a possible visit to Raj Bhavan later in the day to formally step down.
