The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Ramkripal Yadav, has revealed that the next Chief Minister of Bihar will be chosen during a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) meeting scheduled for Tuesday. This decision comes as the state gears up for what many expect to be a pivotal cabinet meeting, potentially the final one under the guidance of current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Yadav acknowledged that Tuesday marks the last official cabinet gathering led by Kumar, who has left a lasting impact on Bihar through his developmental programs over the past two decades. The upcoming government will continue operating under his strategic vision, focused on improving residents' welfare.

Simultaneously, Nitish Kumar is preparing to lead a significant Cabinet meeting on April 14. Insiders suggest it may clear several critical proposals, serving as the closing chapter for the current Council of Ministers. In his departure, Kumar remains dedicated to Bihar's progress, with Janata Dal (United) Working President Sanjay Kumar Jha affirming that despite his resignation, Kumar's influence will persist through ongoing policy guidance.
