This move signals a significant leadership transition in Bihar politics and could result in the appointment of a new Chief Minister in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nitish Kumar, who has served multiple terms as Bihar\u2019s Chief Minister and is considered one of the longest-serving leaders in the state, confirmed that he plans to enter Parliament through the Rajya Sabha elections. His resignation from the Chief Minister\u2019s post is expected soon, though he may continue in office until the Rajya Sabha election process is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decision_to_Serve_in_Parliament\"><\/span>Decision to Serve in Parliament<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While announcing his decision, Nitish Kumar stated that he always wished to serve in all four legislative institutions in India: the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, Bihar Legislative Assembly, and Bihar Legislative Council. Contesting the Rajya Sabha election would fulfil this long-standing political aspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also thanked the people of Bihar for supporting him throughout his political career spanning more than two decades. During this period, he played a significant role in shaping the governance and development policies of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"End_of_a_Long_Chief_Ministerial_Era\"><\/span>End of a Long Chief Ministerial Era<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nitish Kumar\u2019s decision to move to the Rajya Sabha marks the possible end of a long chapter in Bihar\u2019s political history. He has served multiple terms as Chief Minister and became one of the most influential political leaders in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His leadership also helped the ruling alliance secure a massive victory in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, strengthening his position in state politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, with his likely resignation, Bihar will soon witness a new leadership. Political observers believe that the next Chief Minister may come from the ruling alliance, and several names are being discussed as possible successors. This transition could reshape the political dynamics of Bihar in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div
