The present legislative structure of Bihar is bicameral.The Legislative houses are the Bihar Vidhan Sabha (Bihar Legislative Assembly) and Bihar Vidhan Parishad (Bihar Legislative Council). Their normal term is five years, unless dissolved earlier.

Bihar Government

Bihar goverment and Central government had always had a dichotomy.[1] The time of Sri Krishna Sinha as first Chief Minister of Bihar and Dr. Anugrah Narayan Sinha[2] as Bihar's first Deputy Chief Minister cum Finance[3] Minister was good. But consecutive Congress governments had failed to invest in Bihar, with some estimations that the per capita investment in Bihar is more than 10 times lower during 60s to 2000s compared to other states such as Jammu and Kashmir.
