It is reported that this could be the final meeting of the current Council of Ministers, with Nitish Kumar expected to tender his resignation afterwards. A new Chief Minister is anticipated to be appointed on April 15, according to sources.

Earlier on the same day, Janata Dal (United) Working President and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Kumar Jha affirmed that Nitish Kumar remains deeply committed to Bihar’s development, whether or not he holds the Chief Minister position. Jha stated, “As far as Bihar is concerned, we contested the 2025-30 election mandate under Nitish Kumar’s leadership with the support of the NDA. The Prime Minister campaigned regularly, and the new government will continue Nitish Ji’s policies and work under his guidance. Even if he is not Chief Minister, his focus remains on Bihar, travelling to Delhi only for Parliament sessions.”

Nitish Kumar was sworn in as a Rajya Sabha MP on April 10. His role in managing alliance politics has been crucial to the NDA’s governance in Bihar. His transition to the Rajya Sabha fulfills his long-expressed goal of serving in all legislative houses in India, including the Bihar Assembly, the Bihar Legislative Council, the Lok Sabha, and the Rajya Sabha.

Following his election to the upper house of Parliament, Kumar resigned from the Bihar Legislative Council. Subsequently, MLC Sanjay Gandhi tendered his resignation to Council Chairman Awadhesh Narayan Singh.
