Breaking: Nitish Kumar to Resign on April 14, BJP Likely to Form Bihar Government on April 15

Bihar’s political landscape is witnessing a major shift as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is expected to resign on April 14, according to sources close to ABP News. The resignation will pave the way for the formation of a new government on April 15. Nitish Kumar is scheduled to return to Patna on April 11 after taking oath as a Rajya Sabha member, with his final cabinet meeting anticipated on April 13. Following his resignation, the NDA legislative party is likely to convene to select a new leader. Current reports suggest that Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary is the frontrunner for the top post. Other names in contention include Patna-based MLA Sanjeev Saraf, Minister Rama Nishad, and Deputy CM Vijay Sinha. The final decision will also consider Bihar’s complex caste dynamics, which continue to influence political calculations. Samrat Chaudhary’s rising political stature within the BJP, his administrative experience in finance and home departments, and his strong community base are seen as key factors in his favor. Political insiders say his steady rise within the party has positioned him as a strong candidate for leadership. Nitish Kumar’s visit to Delhi ahead of his resignation is seen as a strategic move to coordinate the transition. The next few days are expected to bring clarity on Bihar’s new leadership, signaling a significant change in the state’s governance and political alliances. Citizens and political observers alike are closely watching how the transition unfolds.
