In a significant political shift, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has assumed a new role as a member of the Rajya Sabha. The presiding chairman, C P Radhakrishnan, administered the oath at a ceremony attended by notable figures, among them Union Minister J P Nadda and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
With Kumar taking his oath in Hindi, he was also joined by other prominent leaders such as JDU's Sanjay Kumar Jha and Congress leader Jairam Ramesh. The ceremony symbolized an important transition in Bihar's political landscape, as Kumar steps away from his role as Chief Minister.
This development sets the stage for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to select a new Chief Minister of Bihar, with April 14 earmarked for this notable political development.
