Nitish Kumar to take oath as Rajya Sabha MP today

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar takes oath as Rajya Sabha MP. BJP says no NDA differences over new Bihar CM appointment. Details inside.

"There are no differences anywhere; everything is proceeding as per schedule. - Nitin Nabin"

New Delhi, April 10

Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal chief Nitish Kumar will take oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha today.

Both Bihar Deputy Chief Ministers Vijay Kumar Sinha and Samrat Choudhary arrived in the national capital yesterday and are likely to attend the oath-taking event.

Following his election to the Rajya Sabha, Kumar resigned from the Bihar Legislative Council (MLC) on March 30.

BJP President Nitin Nabin has said that there are no differences in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) over the impending appointment of a new Bihar Chief Minister as Nitish Kumar will be taking oath as Rajya Sabha MP.

In an interview with ANI, Nitin Nabin said that the process is moving forward in a structured manner.

"There are no differences anywhere; everything is proceeding as per schedule. Nitish Kumar is taking the oath of office in the Rajya Sabha on the 10th," he said.

"BJP has always respected the gathbandhan dharma, and that is why even today parties trust us. Everything is being decided under the leadership of Nitish Kumar," he added.

Nitish Kumar is Bihar's longest-serving Chief Minister. Beginning his political journey as an MLA in 1985 and later serving as a Union Minister under the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, Nitish Kumar first became Bihar Chief Minister in 2005. He is among the most experienced and senior political leaders in the country.

Interesting move. Stepping into the Rajya Sabha while being CM. Does this signal a gradual shift to national politics? The BJP president's statement about "no differences" feels like they're trying to pre-empt speculation. 🤔

Respectfully, as a Bihari, I have to say this constant political maneuvering is exhausting. We need a CM who is 100% focused on Bihar's development, not splitting time between Patna and Delhi. Just my two paise.

"Gathbandhan dharma" – good to hear that phrase. Coalition politics is the reality, and stability is key for Bihar's progress. If this move strengthens the NDA in the state and at the centre, it's a positive step. 👍

Longest-serving CM for a reason. He knows how to navigate the system. Rajya Sabha membership will give Bihar a stronger voice on national issues. Hope he uses this platform effectively.

The article mentions a "new Bihar Chief Minister" is impending? Did I read that right? So Nitish Kumar might step down as CM soon? That's the bigger news here! 🧐
