Nitish Kumar Files Nomination for Rajya Sabha Seat, Amit Shah Attends Event

Nitish Kumar Files Nomination for Rajya Sabha – Bihar politics is once again in a state of flux! Rumors are circulating that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is leaving the throne of Bihar and heading to Delhi. It’s being said that he has filed his nomination for the Rajya Sabha. The presence of prominent figures like Amit Shah and Samrat Chaudhary in the Assembly has further fueled speculation.

Will Bihar’s ‘Captain’ really change?

If there’s even a shred of truth to these reports, the implication is clear: a new government and a new cabinet in Bihar. There’s talk that after Nitish Kumar’s departure to the central government, a new face will take charge of Bihar.

However, this news has created panic among JDU workers. From the streets of Patna to the party office, supporters have erupted in anger.

The opposition’s scathing attack: “BJP hijacked”

The opposition party RJD has launched a front against this entire incident. Shakti Singh Yadav says that sending the head of a government with a majority of 202 seats to the Rajya Sabha is incomprehensible. He even claimed that Nitish Kumar’s son is now being lured with the position of Deputy Chief Minister.

Tejashwi Yadav quipped, “We had already said that the BJP would not allow Nitish Kumar to remain in the Chief Minister’s chair. Today, that is what is happening. The BJP has completely hijacked the JDU.”

Ground Reality and Protests

According to reports, JDU workers are so angry with this decision that a huge uproar broke out outside the Chief Minister’s residence. In some places, there have been reports of workers losing their temper and resorting to vandalism. Workers do not want to see their leader leave Bihar.
