Bihar's Political Shuffle: Jaiswal Steps Down Amid Election Prep

Bihar Revenue Minister Dilip Jaiswal resigns to uphold the party's 'One person, one post' policy. His resignation paves the way for potential cabinet changes by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Meanwhile, Kumar’s son Nishant rallies support for his father ahead of the state elections.

Dilip Jaiswal, Bihar's Revenue Minister and state President, announced his resignation on Wednesday, adhering to his party's 'One person, one post' policy. Jaiswal expressed gratitude to the central leadership for entrusting him with the state presidency, a role he will continue to fulfill.

Jaiswal's departure from the ministerial post might prompt Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to consider a cabinet reshuffle or expansion before the upcoming state elections. Jaiswal remarked that such decisions remain the Chief Minister's prerogative.

In parallel developments, on Tuesday, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's son, Nishant Kumar, called on Bihar's electorate to vote for his father in the forthcoming elections. Nishant emphasized the developmental strides made under Nitish Kumar’s leadership and urged JDU workers to mobilize support for the incumbent government.
