The Bihar government has renamed 1, Aney Marg to Lok Sevak Marg, marking a new chapter in the state's political history. Former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who recently moved to 7, Circular Road, was the last occupant of the historic residence. This change aligns with the central government's broader initiative to rename key institutions, including the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to Seva Tirth and Raj Bhavans to Lok Bhavans. The road was originally named after Madhav Srihari Aney, who served as Bihar's second Governor from 1948 to 1952 and was a prominent figure in Indian politics. The residence has been home to several notable chief ministers, including Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi. Kumar's tenure at Aney Marg lasted from March 2006 until his recent relocation, with the address symbolizing the political power dynamics in Bihar over the decades. The renaming signifies a shift in identity for the state's political landscape as it moves forward.
