This marks a historic moment as he becomes the first leader from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to hold the top post in the state. The swearing-in ceremony took place on April 15, 2026, signaling a major shift in Bihar\u2019s political landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"End_of_Nitish_Kumar_Era\"><\/span><strong>End of Nitish Kumar Era<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The leadership change follows the resignation of Nitish Kumar, who had dominated Bihar politics for nearly two decades.
