In a major political development, Nitish Kumar, the chief of Janata Dal (United), has announced that he will file his nomination for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections. The move signals the end of his long tenure as the Chief Minister of Bihar, making him the state’s longest-serving CM.
Nitish Kumar, who has dominated Bihar’s political landscape for nearly two decades across multiple terms, said he would soon submit his nomination papers for the Upper House. His decision marks a significant transition in Bihar politics and is expected to trigger discussions about leadership changes in the state government.
During his tenure, Kumar played a pivotal role in shaping governance and coalition politics in Bihar, working with both the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Janata Dal at different times. Known for his focus on infrastructure development, social welfare schemes, and governance reforms, he remained one of the most influential regional leaders in Indian politics.
