Why Nitish JDU not renominating Rajya Sabha vice chairman Harivansh has become a major topic in Bihar politics. The Nitish JDU not renominating Rajya Sabha vice chairman Harivansh decision comes as the party finalizes candidates for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections.
The five-year terms of five Bihar members will end on April 9. Only two leaders are expected to return to Parliament. Party sources say Union Minister Ramnath Thakur is likely to get a third term. However, Harivansh Narayan Singh, who currently serves as Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman, may not receive another nomination.
This move surprises many because the party usually avoids giving third terms. Sources say the decision has political reasons. Harivansh maintained close ties during JD(U)’s alliance with the opposition bloc earlier. Now, the party leadership wants to promote new faces and loyal leaders as it prepares for future political challenges in Bihar.
