Over the majority of his 19-year tenure in Bihar, Nitish Kumar's leadership has been associated with an effective government that rebuilt the state's law and order, constructed road infrastructure, and provided well-crafted programs to empower women, girls, and other marginalized groups in society. Long before it became popular at many parties, Nitish is credited with recognizing women as a distinct constituency in the nation. In 2016, Nitish also imposed prohibition in the state.
