After days of speculation, JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar has made it clear that he plans to step down as Chief Minister and transition to the Rajya Sabha, bringing to a close more than twenty years at the helm of Bihar's government.
In a post on X, he noted that he had always hoped to serve in both houses of Parliament as well as both houses of the state legislature. Having already been a Lok Sabha MP, an MLA, and an MLC, a term in the Rajya Sabha would fulfill that long‑standing goal.
