During the meeting, RJD MLA Faisal Rahman meets Nitish Kumar to discuss development issues in the Dhaka constituency.

Rahman shared photos of the meeting on Facebook and described it as a courtesy visit focused on regional development. However, the meeting has led to political speculation because Rahman had earlier skipped voting in the recent Rajya Sabha elections.

His absence during the voting had already created controversy in Bihar politics. Now, his meeting with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has raised questions about possible political changes in the coming days.

Rabri Devi currently lives at 10, Circular Road. She was offered a new bungalow at Harding Road. Lalu Prasad Yadav also stays in the same complex. After recent elections, tension increased when Tejashwi Yadav and Rohini Acharya reportedly argued at this address.

RJD called the government order an act of revenge. The party said the move came because of BJP’s influence. They claimed the government targeted Rabri Devi after the court case related to Tejashwi Yadav’s former bungalow.

Tejashwi’s dispute began in 2017, when he was asked to vacate the bungalow given to him as Deputy Chief Minister. He took the matter to the High Court. During the hearings, the court found that a 2010 rule allowed lifetime bungalows for former Chief Ministers.

In 2019, the court cancelled that rule. Because this protection was removed, the government gained the power to shift former CM residences. This is why the attempt to change the Rabri Devi Residence happened, though political pressure later stopped it.
