Bihar New Cabinet: In a major development in the politics of Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is set to resign from the top post on April 14. With his entry into national politics, the politics of Bihar is expected to go through a significant transition phase. While Bihar is likely to get its first chief minister from the BJP, Nitish Kumar's son Nishant Kumar is also likely to get a key responsibility. Apart from this, several newly elected MLAs of the JDU are also likely to be included in the new cabinet.

Earlier during the formation of government after registering victory in the 2025 Assembly election, eight members of the JDU, along with Nitish Kumar, took the oath as ministers. The senior leaders, including Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, Bijendra Prasad Yadav, Shravan Kumar, Ashok Chaudhary, Leshi Singh, Madan Sahni, Sunil Kumar, and Jama Khan, took an oath as the ministers.
