Cheers and jeers mark Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s formal entry into the Rajya Sabha race as JD(U) nominee, with nomination filed amid political buzz.
Hindustani Awam Morcha’s Santosh Suman, holding the Minor Water Resources portfolio, led the felicitations. He celebrated Nitish’s pristine record and governance excellence that redefined Bihar’s trajectory. Pivotal reforms advanced gender equality and comprehensive progress for Dalits and excluded groups, mainstreaming the marginalized.
Nitish’s extensive career, measured judgment, and public welfare passion position him to guide national policies innovatively in Rajya Sabha, Suman enthused. This platform empowers stronger advocacy for Bihar’s needs.
Anticipating prestige uplift for the House through Nitish’s expertise, simplicity, and developmental drive, Suman underscored national gains ahead.
VIP boss Mukesh Sahni, ex-minister, countered fiercely, terming it BJP’s ploy revealing their essence. Echoing prior alerts, he noted BJP’s refusal to back Nitish long-term as CM.
Sahni indicted BJP’s consistent purge of partners across states, aiming to obliterate JD(U). Betraying the Nitish-led mandate from assembly elections, this insults Bihar’s will—electorate retribution looms.
