Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, on Thursday filed his nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha elections in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah
Kumar’s decision to move to the Upper House comes after he recently expressed his “wish to become a Rajya Sabha member,” a development that has strengthened speculation that the Bharatiya Janata Party could soon install its own chief minister in the state, the only Hindi heartland state where the party has so far not held the top post despite being in power.
