Bihar politics is witnessing a major shift as CM Nitish Kumar prepares to join the Rajya Sabha on April 10, 2026. This move has triggered strong reactions from within the ruling alliance. JDU leader and former MP Anand Mohan publicly expressed his dissatisfaction on March 28, 2026, claiming that the decision goes against the public mandate. He stated that the people of Bihar feel let down by the Chief Minister decision to move to Delhi before completing his term.

Why is there opposition to Nitish Kumar Rajya Sabha election?
Anand Mohan believes that moving to the Rajya Sabha will weaken the ruling alliance in Bihar. He mentioned that many people are hurt because they voted for Nitish Kumar to lead the state until 2030. According to him, this transition will provide a political advantage to Tejashwi Yadav and the opposition. He also highlighted that leaders like Anant Singh have announced their retirement from electoral politics due to these developments, which could impact the support base among backward communities.
What are the demands for Nishant Kumar entry into politics?
During his interaction, Anand Mohan emphasized that Nishant Kumar should be brought into politics with full authority. He suggested that if the CM is leaving for Delhi, his son should lead the state to maintain stability. He made several key points regarding this transition:
- Nishant Kumar should not be limited to a Deputy Chief Minister role
- He should be given a full-fledged political position to act as a leader
- A silent Chief Minister role would not satisfy the public or the party workers
- The move could help mitigate the negative impact of Nitish Kumar departure
Meanwhile, names like Samrat Chaudhary from the BJP are also being discussed for the Chief Minister post if the vacancy arises soon. The final decision on the leadership change is expected before the Rajya Sabha term begins in April.
