Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has taken oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha, marking a major shift in his political journey.
The oath was administered in New Delhi, where several senior leaders were present. With this step, Nitish Kumar is moving from state politics to a larger role at the national level.
He has been one of Bihar’s most prominent leaders for many years, serving multiple terms as Chief Minister. His decision to enter the Rajya Sabha is being seen as the start of a new phase in his career.
This move is also expected to bring changes in Bihar’s leadership. Nitish Kumar is likely to step down as Chief Minister soon, and discussions are underway to choose his successor. A new leader could take charge of the state in the coming days.
Over the years, Nitish Kumar has held several important positions, both in Bihar and at the Centre. He has previously served as a Union minister and has also been a member of the Lok Sabha. With his entry into the Rajya Sabha, he now has experience in almost every major legislative role.
Political observers believe his experience could be useful in national discussions, especially at a time when politics is going through important changes.
For Bihar, this marks the possible end of a long chapter under his leadership. For Nitish Kumar, it opens the door to a different role in national politics.
