According to insiders, BJP may appoint a new chief minister in Bihar if Nitish Kumar shifts to Delhi. In that case, JDU could secure two deputy chief minister posts in the new government.

One of the deputy CM positions may go to Nishant Kumar, marking his formal entry into active politics. This move could signal a generational shift within JDU.

Senior leaders from both parties are holding meetings to finalise the arrangement. If the plan moves forward, Bihar’s political landscape could change significantly ahead of upcoming parliamentary developments.

Sources say Chief Minister Nitish Kumar could soon move to the Rajya Sabha. If he takes this step, the Bharatiya Janata Party may choose a new chief minister for Bihar. Senior leaders from both parties are holding internal meetings.

There is also discussion about Nishant Kumar, Nitish’s son, entering active politics. Party insiders suggest he could get a key role, possibly as deputy chief minister, if the reshuffle happens.

However, no official announcement has come so far. Leaders have not confirmed these reports. The final decision may become clear after Holi, once political talks within the alliance conclude.

He reminded leaders of his fight for Bihar’s marginalized communities, saying, “If Tejashwi is the face, I’ll be his deputy.” His firm stand pushed Ashok Gehlot to call Delhi for approval. After clearance, Left leader Dipankar Bhattacharya also agreed. Thus, Mukesh Sahni Deputy CM face became official, turning him from a Bollywood set designer into a major political figure.

Later, Sahni denied pressuring anyone, saying it was just late coordination. His rise shows how Bihar’s caste balance and quick decisions can reshape alliances overnight.

The press meet started late because Gehlot and Tejashwi discussed this move in private. Earlier, Sahni had said that Tejashwi would be CM and the “Son of Mallah” would become Deputy CM. Congress and RJD had avoided confirming this until now. Gehlot’s official statement shows that Congress has agreed to RJD and VIP’s leadership role.

Gehlot said democracy in Bihar is in danger and the state needs a new direction. He added that this step was taken with the consent of Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi. He also said that farmers, students, and workers want change. Tejashwi’s bond with Rahul during his visit sent a clear message across India.
