Bihar Power Alert: RJD’s Chandrashekhar Alleges BJP Removed Nitish Kumar

Bihar’s political scenario is heating up as Nitish Kumar confirms his move to the Rajya Sabha. In response, Chandrashekhar Yadav, a senior RJD legislator, has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of forcing Nitish Kumar out of the Chief Minister’s post, claiming that BJP allegedly used intimidation tactics to install its own leader in Bihar. Chandrashekhar highlighted that Nitish Kumar had earned a strong mandate from the people, giving NDA a decisive victory, and expressed disappointment at his removal. RJD’s stance shows an unusual alignment with Nitish, emphasizing that the popular mandate was in his favor and that he should have remained Bihar’s Chief Minister. Meanwhile, speculation around Bihar’s leadership continues, with names like Samrat Chaudhary, Vijay Sinha, and Mangal Pandey being discussed for the Chief Minister position. Additionally, Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, is considered a frontrunner for the Deputy CM post, reflecting JD(U)’s strategy to consolidate its core Kurmi vote base. Other names like Vijay Chaudhary and Shravan Kumar also remain in contention, highlighting the ongoing power realignments in Bihar politics.
