Bihar’s long-serving Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday took oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha, signaling a major political transition in the state. He was administered the oath in the chamber of Rajya Sabha Chairman CP Radhakrishnan. The Janata Dal (United) chief had been elected to the Upper House on March 16 and is required to resign as a Member of Legislative Council within the mandated 14-day period. His move to the Rajya Sabha has intensified speculation about an imminent leadership change in Bihar, with expectations growing that he may step down as Chief Minister in the coming days.
