Nitish Kumar Recommends Cabinet Dissolution Before Meeting Governor to Submit Resignation as Bihar CM: State Minister Ram Kripal Yadav.

The resignation clears the way for a BJP-led government, with the party holding 89 of 243 assembly seats, leaders said.

  • On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar held his final Cabinet meeting at the State Secretariat, formally initiating dissolution of his Council of Ministers ahead of his resignation.
  • This resignation marks the end of Kumar's record-breaking tenure as Bihar's longest-serving Chief Minister, paving the way for the first-ever Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in the state.
  • The 202-strong NDA coalition includes 85 MLAs from Janata Dal and 89 from the Bharatiya Janata Party, making the BJP the single largest party in the 243-member assembly.
  • At the Raj Bhawan, Kumar is expected to formally tender his resignation to the Governor, while the BJP prepares for an oath-taking ceremony scheduled for April 15 at Lok Bhawan.
  • Having joined the Rajya Sabha last week, Kumar intends to continue providing 'marg darshan'—or guidance—to the incoming administration following his departure from the Chief Minister's office.
