In a candid interview amid swirling political buzz, UP Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar lampooned Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s overtures toward Rajya Sabha, calling it the fulfillment of his long-held dream to ascend political peaks. ‘Nitish is his own boss—no one dictates his moves,’ Rajbhar declared from Azamgarh.
Tracing the arc of ambition, Rajbhar painted a hierarchy of desires: from village head to president. ‘Power intoxicates; each rung breeds the next craving. Nitish, after CM tenure, naturally eyes the Rajya Sabha,’ he observed astutely.
Rajbhar pointed to Nitish’s social media post affirming his Delhi-bound intent for the Upper House. ‘BJP alliance has rolled out the red carpet. They’ve backed him as CM before—why not now?’ he questioned rhetorically.
Addressing Bihar’s leadership dynamics, Rajbhar stressed democratic choice. ‘MLAs of the house will pick the CM; we’re solidly with NDA.’
Turning guns on rivals, he ridiculed SP-Congress ties. ‘Akhilesh and Rahul snipe at each other constantly. Government-bashing is their vote-bank strategy; endorsement of welfare would bankrupt their polls,’ Rajbhar mocked.
He lauded BJP’s equity in pensions—unified at Rs 1,000 rupees—versus SP’s discriminatory rates. ‘Previous loot in farmer subsidies is history; direct benefits flow now, fueling opposition rage,’ Rajbhar concluded, championing governance reforms.
