‘Good Governance Babu’ Nitish Kumar goes to Delhi…, now who will be the new ‘Boss’ of Bihar, the big question?
Patna. Bihar politics took a historic turn today. Nitish Kumar, who ruled the state for more than two decades and is known as ‘Sushasan Babu’, has decided to leave the post of Chief Minister and enter central politics. He filed his nomination papers as Rajya Sabha member. Along with him, five other candidates of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) also filed their nomination papers. On this occasion, Union Home Minister Amit Shah was also present in the Bihar Assembly complex, which further increased the political importance of this development.

Janata Dal (United) President Nitish Kumar himself publicly announced that he will contest the Rajya Sabha elections. With this, the end of his long tenure as Chief Minister from 2005 till now has been decided. He has been the Chief Minister of Bihar for a record 10 times so far, which is considered a unique chapter in the politics of the state. He said that the new government and the new Chief Minister will continue to get his full support and guidance. Ever since the landslide victory of the NDA in the assembly elections held in November last year, discussions about a possible change in the power structure were intense. Now that Nitish Kumar is going to Rajya Sabha, the possibility has become strong that the responsibility of the post of Chief Minister in Bihar can be handed over to a leader of Bharatiya Janata Party. If this happens, it will be the first time that Bihar will have a BJP chief minister. Among the Hindi belt states, Bihar is the only state where till now there has been no Chief Minister from BJP.
Voting for five seats of Bihar Rajya Sabha on March 16
Voting for five Rajya Sabha seats from Bihar is to be held on March 16, while the last date for filing nominations was Thursday. Considering the current numerical strength in the state assembly, it is considered almost certain that Nitish Kumar will be elected to the Upper House. However, opposition to this decision has also come to the fore. A large number of JDU workers gathered outside the Chief Minister’s residence since morning and expressed dissatisfaction over this decision. The protesters said that Nitish Kumar should have remained on the post of Chief Minister. Meanwhile, there is also discussion in political circles that Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar may get an important role in the new government. There are speculations that he can be made the Deputy Chief Minister. Current Deputy Chief Minister and potential Chief Minister contender Samrat Choudhary congratulated Nitish Kumar and said that his visionary leadership and commitment to good governance has been inspiring. He wrote on social media that the experience of Nitish Kumar will further strengthen the dignity of Rajya Sabha.
