End Of An Era: Nitish Kumar submits his resignation to governor as Bihar chief minister
The leadership change follows the resignation of Nitish Kumar, one of Bihar’s longest-serving chief ministers. He submitted his resignation to Governor Syed Ata Hasnain after a cabinet meeting earlier in the day.
Kumar stated that he had decided to step down after years of service and expressed confidence in the incoming government. He also assured full cooperation and guidance to the new administration.
With Choudhary set to assume office, Bihar is witnessing a transition in leadership within the NDA framework. The new government is expected to take charge of administrative responsibilities following the swearing-in ceremony.
