Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is set to file his nomination for the Rajya Sabha, sparking speculation about a leadership change in the state. Bihar may witness a significant political transition as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar prepares to file his nomination for the upcoming Rajya Sabha election on Thursday. He emphasised that any decision about the shift would be taken solely by the Chief Minister himself. Possible Resignation After Rajya Sabha ElectionThe Rajya Sabha election is scheduled for March 16, and party sources suggest Kumar may continue as Chief Minister until then. Such a move would also give Kumar a unique distinction, having served in the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and both Houses of the Bihar legislature during his long political career.
