Who is the new Chief Minister in Bihar? After Nitish Kumar, churning of faces started in BJP-JDU

Patna. The ‘Nitish era’ that has been going on for the last two decades in Bihar politics has now reached its final stage. With the announcement of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar going to Rajya Sabha, political activity has intensified from Patna to Delhi. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has emerged as the largest party in the NDA alliance, is now going to stake its historic claim on the post of Chief Minister. It is believed that after the nomination today, the command of power in Bihar will completely change and the state may get the first BJP Chief Minister in its history.

New equation of power: BJP’s claim is the strongest

The results of the last assembly elections have completely changed the balance of power within the alliance. Currently, BJP is the largest party in the alliance with 89 MLAs, while JDU has 85 MLAs. There is talk in political circles that after Nitish Kumar’s removal, BJP will no longer make any compromise on the post of Chief Minister. If party sources are to be believed, the names of prominent backward class leaders like Samrat Chaudhary and Nityanand Rai are leading in the race for Chief Minister.

Entry of Nishant Kumar: New innings as ‘Deputy CM’!

The biggest reason behind Nitish Kumar’s decision to go to Rajya Sabha is his son Nishant Kumar’s entry into active politics. There is tremendous enthusiasm about Nishant within JDU. There is discussion that under the ‘compromise model’, while BJP will take the post of Chief Minister, Nishant Kumar can be given the responsibility of Deputy Chief Minister, handling Nitish’s legacy. With this, JDU’s existence and identity will also be protected in the alliance.

‘Power transfer’ will take place in the presence of Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is reaching Patna today. In his presence, not only will the nomination of Rajya Sabha candidates take place, but the name of the new Chief Minister is also likely to be finalized. BJP State President and National President Nitin Naveen himself is going to Rajya Sabha, in such a situation, preparations are being made for major changes in both the organization and the government. The central leadership of the party wants to ensure that Bihar has a strong and responsive government for the 2024 Lok Sabha and upcoming elections.

Nitish’s ‘respectable exit’ or new role?

Nitish Kumar’s entry into Rajya Sabha at the age of 75 is being considered an important turning point in his political career. His old wish of becoming a member of all four houses (Assembly, Legislative Council, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) is now going to be fulfilled. Political analysts believe that this is his ‘honorable departure’ from active politics in the state, paving the way for the BJP. Now it remains to be seen whether BJP is able to create a new leadership in Bihar also with its ‘Hindu Hriday Samrat’ image.
