A seismic shift in Bihar: CM Nitish Kumar is trading state helm for national parliament, contesting Rajya Sabha. His X announcement preceded Thursday’s nomination filing, a decision that’s reshaping alliance strategies.
Zafar Islam of BJP lauded it as Kumar’s sovereign choice. ‘Bihar’s political giant and NDA cornerstone—his wishes command our respect,’ he said. Leadership changes? ‘A matter for NDA leadership dialogue,’ he clarified.
Islam rebuked opposition outcry: ‘Self-made decision, yet their pain? No arm-twisting involved. Time to respect, not politicize.’
Rohan Gupta stressed NDA’s unyielding unity, spotlighting Amit Shah’s support at the event and Nitin Nabin’s parallel filing. He reminded of the assembly polls’ clear mandate favoring NDA over opposition.
‘Voters chose us for Bihar’s advancement,’ Gupta noted. ‘Opposition should introspect.’ As Kumar ascends, the NDA recommits to transformative governance, ensuring Bihar’s trajectory toward prosperity endures.
