Fourth Nitish Kumar ministry

After Jitan Ram Manjhi resigned on 20 February 2015, Nitish Kumar was again sworn in as Chief Minister on 22 February 2015. This was his fourth term in office. JD(U) was able to comfortably form the government and was supported in the legislature by the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Indian National Congress. The cabinet of ministers was composed entirely of JD(U) members. This interim ministry continued until the 2015 Bihar Legislative Assembly election took place, after which the Fifth Nitish Kumar ministry was formed.
