Nitish Kumar Ends Two-Decade Tenure as Bihar Chief Minister, Moves to Rajya Sabha

Nitish Kumar's two-decade tenure as Bihar's Chief Minister, spanning ten terms since 2005, transformed the state's political and social landscape. He restored law and order, introduced fast-track courts, and redefined caste politics by empowering Extremely Backward Classes and Mahadalits. His governance emphasized accessibility and social engineering, creating a loyal coalition that reshaped Bihar's electorate. As he transitions to the Rajya Sabha, his departure marks a significant political shift, with the BJP likely to lead the next state government.
