Bihar’s longest-serving chief minister, JD(U) veteran Nitish Kumar will file his nomination papers for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections on Thursday, March 5.
According to sources, while the BJP in Bihar is talking about Nitish giving up the chief minister’s chair, the JD(U) seems divided with one section vehemently against any kind of power transfer.
From the BJP’s deputy CM Samrat Choudhary to “old hand" Sanjiv Chaurasiya – many names are being spoken of in party circles as a probable CM face. In fact, amid intense speculation over a potential leadership change in the state, Choudhary stayed put in state capital Patna instead of visiting his constituency of Tarapur to celebrate Holi as is his usual practice.
