Tejashwi said the situation shows that decisions about Bihar may now be controlled from Delhi. He claimed that Nitish Kumar did not move to the Rajya Sabha willingly and alleged that political pressure forced the step. According to him, this development raises serious questions about who will actually run the state government.

Nitish Kumar recently took oath as a Rajya Sabha MP. The move signals a major shift in Bihar’s politics and may lead to changes in the state leadership.

The RJD leader also mocked the attention around the oath ceremony. He asked whether Nitish Kumar had taken oath for a much bigger position, as the political reaction appeared unusually strong.

The development has intensified the political battle between the ruling alliance and the opposition in Bihar.

The Bihar BJP CM decision now rests with the BJP leadership. Party leaders must select a legislative party leader in the state assembly. The alliance usually chooses the chief minister from that position.

At present, Samrat Choudhary serves as the BJP legislative party leader and deputy chief minister. His role makes him a strong contender for the chief minister’s post.

Another deputy chief minister, Vijay Kumar Sinha, also remains in discussion. However, Samrat Choudhary holds a higher position in the party structure.

The BJP leadership may also consider other senior leaders. In that case, the party could first elect a new legislative party leader. NDA MLAs would then support that leader as chief minister.

Political observers believe Samrat Choudhary currently leads the race for the top post in Bihar.
