Sources within the JDU suggest that he will soon tender his resignation as Chief Minister, paving the way for the BJP to appoint its first-ever CM in the state. Following the NDA&#8217;s landslide victory in the recent assembly elections, the BJP emerged as the dominant partner in the alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 75, Nitish Kumar leaves behind a legacy of transformative infrastructure and educational reforms in Bihar, though his frequent shifts in political alliances remain a point of debate. While supporters claim his presence in the Rajya Sabha will fast-track Bihar\u2019s development through better central coordination, the opposition labels it a move that creates instability. All eyes are now on Patna as the NDA prepares to announce a new successor to lead the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a move that signals a massive tectonic shift in Bihar politics, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha today.
