BUAfter nearly two decades at the helm, veteran leader Nitish Kumar has officially resigned as Chief Minister of Bihar today, April 14, 2026. Following a final Cabinet meeting, he submitted his resignation to Governor Lt Gen (Retd) Syed Ata Hasnain, marking the conclusion of his long and eventful tenure as the state's longest-serving Chief Minister. Nitish, who recently took oath as a Rajya Sabha member, is expected to shift focus to national politics while offering guidance to the new government.
In a significant transition, BJP leader and current Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary (also known as Samrat Chaudhary) has emerged as the clear choice to become Bihar's next Chief Minister — and the first from the BJP in the state's history. Choudhary, an influential OBC leader from the Kushwaha community, was elected as the BJP Legislature Party leader following Nitish's resignation. The move strengthens the NDA alliance's position while bringing fresh leadership to the state.
The new government is set to take oath tomorrow, on April 15, 2026, at Lok Bhawan in Patna. Reports suggest Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah may attend the swearing-in ceremony, underscoring the national importance of this political shift. Nitish Kumar has publicly extended his support to the smooth transition.
This development signals a new chapter for Bihar, with the BJP taking the lead role in governance after years as a key alliance partner.
