Nitish Kumar Rajya Sabha | Big Political Shake-Up In Bihar - Nitish's Next Destination: Rajya Sabha

Nitish Kumar, JDU president and Bihar Chief Minister, filed the nomination papers for the March 16 Rajya Sabha election today, making a big shift from the Assembly to the Parliament after two decades of leading the Bihar government. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Sinha were with him. Kumar announced the decision in a post on X this morning. He said he long harboured a wish to become a member of both Houses of Parliament and both Houses of the state legislature. He has already been a Lok Sabha MP, an MLA, and an MLC, and a Rajya Sabha stint would complete the quartet.
