Bihar govt-administration disconnect: Top performing bureaucrats reach out to Nitish Babu

Administrative instability has gripped Bihar’s corridors of power, highlighted by the Home Secretary post being reshuffled more than twice since Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary took charge. Several senior civil servants who served as prime executioners of key policies under Nitish Kumar now find themselves abruptly sidelined in a sweeping administrative overhaul. This widespread churn has generated deep unease within the state cadre, with sources indicating that several sidelined bureaucrats have discreetly reached out to Nitish Kumar. The growing disconnects between seasoned administrators and the new regime is threatening to stall bureaucratic morale and executive decision-making.
