PATNA: Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday dissolved his Cabinet, marking the end of an era in Bihar.

After nearly two decades at the helm -- during which he played a pivotal role in shaping the state’s development trajectory -- Nitish Kumar is now set to step away from state politics and shift his focus toward national responsibilities.

Earlier in the day, Nitish Kumar chaired his final cabinet meeting at the Chief Minister’s Secretariat. The meeting was attended by Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, along with ministers from all departments and senior officials.

During the meeting, the Chief Minister formally informed his colleagues of his decision to resign.

The atmosphere was visibly emotional, as ministers reflected on the long political journey shared under his leadership.
