On Thursday, Janata Dal (United) activists took to the streets, surrounding the vehicle of party leader and Hilsa MLA Krishna Murari Sharan. Their objective was to prevent his entry into Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's residence, amid growing opposition to Kumar's rumored candidacy for the Rajya Sabha.
According to JD(U) sources, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is expected to submit his nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections, a move that would necessitate his resignation from his current position, sparking unrest among his ardent followers.
Meanwhile, Lok Janshakti Party Chief Chirag Paswan and Congress's Raashid Alvi continue to speculate on possible political maneuvers with the BJP allegedly eyeing complete control of Bihar by replacing Kumar with their own choice for Chief Minister.
