"Nitish Kumar dreams of developed Bihar": Dilip Jaiswal on CM's Rajya Sabha nomination

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar files Rajya Sabha nomination, calling it his own decision while reaffirming his commitment to a developed Bihar. Ministers back his move.

"my resolve to work together with you to build a developed Bihar will remain steadfast - Nitish Kumar"

Patna, March 5

Nitish Kumar has a dream of a developed Bihar, Bihar Minister Dilip Jaiswal said on Friday, further reiterated that Kumar filing the nomination to Rajya Sabha "was his own decision."

"He has made efforts for his dream of a developed Bihar, and we will continue to see his support in how Bihar progresses", he said.

"The nomination for Rajya Sabha membership was filed by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar yesterday; this is his own decision...", he added.

On the matter, Minister Ramkripal Yadav on Thursday stated that it is an internal matter of the Janata Dal (United) and the CM's decision is paramount, while terming the opposition as "troubled."

"This is an internal matter of the Janata Dal (United), and they will make the decision; those led by Nitish Kumar and his decision are paramount," he added.

Taking a dig at the opposition, he said they are troubled because they are getting nothing and their credibility is eroding daily.

"The opposition is troubled because they are getting nothing. Every day, the opposition's credibility is eroding, so they are very distressed. The NDA is united, and all are working together to run the government," he added.

Bihar politics on Thursday witnessed a drastic shift as the state's longest-serving Chief Minister Nitish Kumar filed his nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections, extending "full support" to the new Cabinet.

The 75-year-old penned a heartfelt message announcing his decision. "I seek to become a member of the Rajya Sabha in the elections being held this time. I want to assure you with complete honesty that my relationship with you will continue in the future as well, and my resolve to work together with you to build a developed Bihar will remain steadfast. The new government that will be formed will have my full cooperation and guidance," Nitish Kumar posted on X.

His own decision? After so many flip-flops, it's hard to take any political statement at face value. However, if this move brings fresh leadership focused on education and jobs for Bihar's youth, then it's welcome. We need less drama and more work.

Finally! Maybe this is the graceful exit needed. A new CM with new energy can focus on infrastructure and industries. Nitish Kumar's experience in Delhi could help Bihar get more central funds. Jai Bihar! 🙏

As an observer, the constant political maneuvering in Bihar is fascinating but exhausting for the citizens. The opposition's "troubled" state, as mentioned, seems accurate but also a bit rich coming from the NDA. Stability should be the priority for development.

The heartfelt message on X sounds good, but we've heard promises before. Action matters. Will his "full cooperation" mean remote control from Delhi? Bihar needs a leader present here, solving our issues of electricity, roads, and law & order.

Respect for Nitish Ji's long service. His work on women's empowerment and prohibition had impact. Maybe in Rajya Sabha he can champion Bihar's cause more effectively. Hope the next CM continues that focus on social development.
