Nitish Kumar to Rajya Sabha: BJP Conspiracy or Personal Wish? Bihar CM's Power Play
•Nitish Kumar, Bihar's longest-serving CM, is moving to Rajya Sabha, sparking 'BJP conspiracy' claims from JDU and opposition.
•The article refutes this, stating BJP consistently supported Nitish, even making him CM in 2020 despite having more seats.
•Nitish clarifies his Rajya Sabha move fulfills a personal wish to be a member of all legislative houses (Vidhan Sabha, Vidhan Parishad, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha).
•With 85 JDU MLAs, Nitish is powerful enough to secure Rajya Sabha seats independently and doesn't succumb to political pressure.
•He maintains significant political weight, capable of forming alliances, and has vowed not to repeat past mistakes with Mahagathbandhan.
