A significant political shift has unfolded in Bihar, as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has submitted his resignation from office. Following this development, it is widely anticipated that the next Chief Minister of the state may be selected from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Among the prominent contenders, Samrat Choudhary’s name is emerging as a leading candidate for the position.
On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, Nitish Kumar formally met the Governor and handed over his resignation. This move brings an end to the speculation that had been circulating over the past few days regarding his potential departure. With his resignation, the state of Bihar is now preparing for a transition of power to new leadership.
