'Nitish Kumar’s exit, turning point in Bihar, marks the end of the Sushasan era'

Rajni Shankar
Patna, Apr 14 (UNI) In a landmark political moment, Nitish Kumar today resigned as the Chief Minister of Bihar, bringing to a close an era widely defined by his hallmark of “Sushasan” (good governance).
A mechanical engineer who evolved into a master of social engineering, Kumar is widely credited with pulling Bihar out of a period of administrative decline and reshaping it into a more stable and forward-moving state. His leadership not only altered governance priorities but also redefined the political discourse in Bihar over the past two decades.
