Bihar’s political landscape is witnessing a major upheaval as Nitish Kumar officially confirmed his decision to move to the Rajya Sabha. The announcement has triggered heated debates across the state, with Rashtriya Janata Dal accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of attempting a political “hijack” in Bihar. RJD leaders claim that BJP’s maneuvers, in alliance with JD(U), aim to alter the balance of power in the state following Nitish Kumar’s departure from the Chief Minister post. RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari described the situation as a significant political realignment, saying Bihar’s alliance dynamics are open to new possibilities and strategic plays. JD(U) workers, while loyal to Nitish Kumar, are reportedly experiencing disappointment over their leader’s move to the Rajya Sabha, reflecting the emotional weight of this political transition. Nitish Kumar, who has served in Bihar politics for over two decades, has led multiple coalition shifts and steered the state through both RJD and BJP alliances. His confirmation marks the start of a new political chapter, raising questions about Bihar’s leadership structure and the future role of BJP in the state. The unfolding developments suggest a period of intense political maneuvering ahead.
