Political activity in Bihar has intensified after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar filed his nomination for the Rajya Sabha, signalling a possible shift from state to national politics. Amid the growing speculation, the Janata Dal (United) has convened a crucial meeting of its MLAs, MPs and MLCs at the Chief Minister’s residence on March 6.

The meeting is being seen as significant as it may shape the next phase of Bihar’s political leadership. With Rajya Sabha elections scheduled for March 16, sources suggest Nitish Kumar could remain in office until early April, though discussions about succession have already gained momentum.

Party workers and political observers are closely watching the developments, as uncertainty continues over who may take charge of the state if Kumar moves to Delhi. The meeting is expected to address the evolving political situation and may offer hints about the ruling alliance’s strategy for the leadership transition in Bihar.
