Patna, March 9 (NationPress) As he prepares for a potential transition to the Rajya Sabha, Nitish Kumar has been diligently assessing development initiatives throughout Bihar.

On Monday, the Chief Minister made a stop in Malsalami within Patna to evaluate the ongoing construction of the approach road.
