The Nitish Kumar Rajya Sabha move has triggered sharp political reactions in Bihar. Congress leaders criticized the Bihar Chief Minister, saying he fought the assembly elections in his own name but is now heading to Delhi through the Upper House.
Congress leader Sachin Pilot questioned the decision and said voters gave their mandate based on Nitish Kumar’s leadership. According to him, leaving the chief minister’s post for Parliament raises serious political questions.
The Nitish Kumar Rajya Sabha move comes after the veteran leader filed his nomination for the Rajya Sabha. The development is being seen as a major shift in Bihar politics and could open the door for a new chief minister in the state.
Opposition parties also mocked Nitish Kumar’s political journey, pointing out that he has changed alliances several times in the past. Meanwhile, the JD(U) leader defended his decision, saying he always wanted to serve in every house of India’s democracy.
The move has sparked intense debate about the future leadership of Bihar and the possible political changes in the state.
