The countdown for the formation of a new government in Bihar has begun, as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar prepares to resign from his post later today.
Ahead of the NDA legislature party meeting, Nitish Kumar chaired his final cabinet meeting at 11:30 am with ministers of his government. Following the meeting, he returned to his residence in Patna. The meeting marked his last cabinet session as Chief Minister, during which he thanked ministers for their cooperation and support throughout his tenure.
No agenda was passed during the meeting, and the scheduled press briefing after the cabinet session was also cancelled. In a significant decision, the cabinet recommended its dissolution after the meeting, clearing the way for the formation of a new government.
Nitish Kumar is expected to submit his resignation to Governor Lt Gen Ata Hasnain at around 3:15 pm. The resignation will formally pave the way for the next phase of government formation in the state.
