President Droupadi Murmu nominated Harivansh Narayan Singh to the Rajya Sabha. The Harivansh Narayan Singh Rajya Sabha Nomination fills the seat that became vacant after Ranjan Gogoi finished his term.

Congress leader Surendra Rajput criticised the move. He said nominated seats should go to people who made strong contributions in fields like art, literature, science, or social work.

Harivansh earlier served two terms in the Rajya Sabha from Bihar. He belongs to the Janata Dal (United). He also served as Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.

With the new nomination, Harivansh will continue his role in Parliament for another term.

Shakti Yadav said the move could help the RJD politically. He claimed the BJP may face internal tension if it projects Samrat Choudhary as the CM candidate.

He added that RJD workers happy if BJP chooses Samrat Choudhary as CM because the decision could upset many BJP leaders. According to him, such a step may create confusion within the party.

Yadav also accused the BJP of lacking clear leadership in Bihar. He said the party often changes its strategy to manage internal pressure and caste equations.

He added that the RJD remains confident under Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership. The party plans to focus on jobs, development, and social justice in the coming elections.

Leaders from Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal (United) quickly hit back at the remarks. They accused Tejashwi of ignoring the problems during the rule of his father, former chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav. BJP leaders said the state has improved in several sectors since the NDA came to power.

Meanwhile, leaders from Rashtriya Janata Dal and Indian National Congress defended Tejashwi. They said the ruling alliance should focus on governance instead of attacking the opposition. The political debate has increased tensions in Bihar ahead of upcoming elections.

The controversy started after Tejashwi delivered a long speech in English while campaigning in Kerala. His speech quickly went viral on social media and became a talking point in political circles. The Tejashwi Yadav English speech row gained momentum when Neeraj Kumar shared parts of the video online and highlighted what he called language errors.

Kumar claimed that some sentences used by Tejashwi were grammatically incorrect. For example, he questioned the phrase “I have come from Bihar” and said the correct usage should be “I am from Bihar” or “I come from Bihar.”

The BJP leader also made sarcastic remarks about Tejashwi’s English skills. He said the opposition leader should improve his grammar before lecturing others about development.

The debate has now turned into a political war of words between leaders from different parties in Bihar.

Under the Bihar Assembly 20 Committees Formed move, leaders from several parties received key positions. The committees will work from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027. Some rebel legislators who stayed away during the Rajya Sabha election voting also received roles in the committees.

Congress MLA Manohar Prasad Singh and RJD MLA Faisal Rahman have been appointed as committee chairpersons. JD(U) leader Manoranjan Singh, also known as Dhumal Singh, will head the tourism industry committee. Mokama MLA Anant Kumar Singh has been included as a member of the environment protection and pollution control committee.

Out of the 20 committees, nine are headed by BJP leaders and six by JD(U). Leaders from RLM, HAM, RJD, Congress, and AIMIM received one committee each. However, LJP (Ram Vilas) has not received leadership of any committee so far. Eight committees are still waiting for reorganization.

Several members from major political parties received important roles. Leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party, Janata Dal (United), Rashtriya Janata Dal, Indian National Congress, Hindustani Awam Morcha, Rashtriya Lok Morcha, and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen were chosen as chairpersons of different committees.

The Bihar Assembly Committees include important panels such as the Public Accounts Committee, Estimates Committee, and Public Sector Undertakings Committee. These panels review government spending, examine policies, and monitor the work of different departments.

However, the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) did not receive any chairperson position in the newly announced list. This absence has drawn political attention in the state.

The formation of these committees aims to strengthen legislative oversight and ensure accountability in the functioning of the Bihar Assembly.

He said that if Nitish Kumar moves to national politics, JD(U) should select another leader as the next Chief Minister. He added that many voters supported the alliance because of Nitish Kumar. Therefore, the party should respect the public mandate.

In his remarks, Pappu Yadav on Nitish Kumar resignation also criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party. He asked why BJP leaders appear eager for a leadership change in Bihar. He warned that replacing a JD(U) leader with a BJP Chief Minister could create political tension.

The debate started after Nitish Kumar resigned from the Bihar Legislative Council. The move followed his election to the Rajya Sabha. Now, many political leaders discuss who will lead the Bihar government next.

Political leaders say the Nitish Kumar resignation as MLC may help the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) push for a BJP-led chief minister in Bihar. For many years, Nitish Kumar has led the NDA government in the state.

JD(U) leader Sanjay Gandhi submitted Kumar’s resignation to the Legislative Council chairman. The chairman accepted the resignation soon after. Election rules require Kumar to leave his state legislative seat after entering the Rajya Sabha.

Many political observers now expect the NDA to consider a BJP leader for the chief minister’s post. However, the alliance has not announced any final decision yet.

The development could mark a major political shift in Bihar after years of Nitish Kumar’s leadership.
