Nitish Kumar Ends 21 Year Tenure
Nitish Kumar has filed his nomination for the Rajya Sabha, signaling the end of his nearly 21-year term as the Chief Minister of Bihar. Amit Shah arrived in Patna to oversee these nominations and publicly praised Nitish Kumar for his service. Shah mentioned that Nitish Kumar played a vital role in bringing Bihar out of “jungle raj” and achieving historic milestones.
This decision has created a mix of emotions among party supporters. JD(U) workers gathered outside the CM’s residence in Patna to express their unhappiness regarding his exit from state politics. Nitish Kumar shared on social media that moving to national politics was a long-standing personal goal he wished to fulfill.
Who Will Be the Next Chief Minister?
The discussion on the flight to Delhi is expected to finalize the name of the next Chief Minister. There is strong speculation that Bihar might see its first Chief Minister from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Names like Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Chaudhary are currently being discussed as top contenders for the post.
The Rajya Sabha polling is scheduled for March 16, adding urgency to these decisions. Lalan Singh has been a key figure in these talks and recently met with Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, which has added to the political rumors. The outcome of the meeting between Shah and Singh will determine the future government structure in Bihar.
