Nitish Kumar Rajya Sabha Move Sparks Political Storm In Bihar

Bihar politics suddenly looks tense after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar signalled he wants to move to the Rajya Sabha. The decision hints that he may leave the Chief Minister post soon. Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav has strongly criticised the move, saying people of Bihar are not happy with such a power shift.

Political circles in Patna are buzzing right now. Everyone is asking the same question, who will lead Bihar next if Nitish Kumar steps aside.

Tejashwi Yadav’s Sharp Reaction

Tejashwi Yadav did not hold back. The leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal said the development proves what his party had been saying for months.

According to him, the Bharatiya Janata Party never wanted Nitish Kumar to remain chief minister. He claimed the current political shift is against public sentiment in Bihar.

Tejashwi also argued that when Nitish Kumar left the Grand Alliance in 2024 and joined the National Democratic Alliance, the RJD had warned this could weaken his party.

His statement sounded almost like a prediction coming true, at least that is how his supporters see it.

Claims About Pressure On JD(U)

Tejashwi went a step further and said Nitish Kumar’s party, the Janata Dal (United), is being slowly weakened.

He claimed powerful political forces have “hijacked” the situation. According to him, the long-term goal is to reduce the influence of JD(U) in Bihar politics.

It’s a serious charge. Though leaders from the ruling alliance have not agreed with this claim.

Still, political observers say tensions between allies often show up during such leadership changes.

Manoj Jha Raises Questions

Another strong reaction came from Manoj Jha, who also criticised the development.

Jha questioned the social media post where Nitish Kumar announced his Rajya Sabha intention. He said the language of the message did not sound like the usual style of the Bihar chief minister.

According to him, the post might have been written somewhere else, possibly in Delhi. His comment added more fuel to an already heated debate.

What Nitish Kumar Actually Said

Nitish Kumar earlier confirmed through social media that he plans to seek membership in the Rajya Sabha.

If that happens, it would naturally mean stepping away from the Chief Minister’s role. In his message, he thanked the people of Bihar for their trust and support over the years.

That short message has created huge political chatter across the state.

What Happens Next In Bihar Politics

Right now, no official announcement has been made about the next chief minister. But inside Patna’s political corridors, conversations are moving fast.

Many leaders inside the ruling alliance are likely discussing possible successors quietly. At the same time, opposition parties are trying to shape the narrative.

One thing feels certain. The coming days could change the political story of Bihar in a big way. And everyone, from party workers to ordinary voters, is watching closely what happens next.
