CM Nitish Kumar would begin a state-wide tour again after the electoral victory.

Patna, January 6, 2026: Following the emphatic victory in the Bihar Assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is set to embark on another state-wide tour.

Preparations for the tour have already begun, and dates are currently being finalized, according to sources in the Chief Minister’s Secretariat.

District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police across the state have been directed to make necessary administrative and security arrangements.

Nitish Kumar has a history of state-wide tours:

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has a long tradition of undertaking state-wide tours during the winter months and has completed more than a dozen such outreach programs so far.

With the budget session of the Bihar Assembly likely to begin in February, officials are finalizing the tour schedule, keeping the legislative calendar.

High-level discussions regarding the tour are already underway.

During the tour, Nitish Kumar will thank the people of Bihar for their overwhelming support in the Assembly elections.

He will also review ongoing development schemes, assess their ground-level implementation, and collect feedback from the general public.

The name of the tour and its official launch date are yet to be announced.

Senior officials and members of the Chief Minister’s core team are deliberating on these aspects.

This time, the tour is expected to be conducted under extremely tight security. While Nitish Kumar’s previous tour also had robust security arrangements, sources indicate that direct interaction with the public may be limited during this visit.
