Bihar is on the brink of a significant political shift as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar resigns after nearly 20 years in office. Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has emerged as the frontrunner to succeed him, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) poised to lead the state government for the first time. The BJP legislature party will convene in Patna to elect its leader, who will be formally endorsed by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) lawmakers. Kumar's resignation marks a pivotal moment in Bihar politics, as the NDA currently holds a comfortable majority in the 243-member assembly. The new leader is expected to claim the government formation, with a swearing-in ceremony anticipated on April 15, attended by senior leaders like Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Meanwhile, Kumar spent his last day in office reflecting on his tenure and overseeing key infrastructure projects, emphasizing his focus on connectivity and development.
