In a strong endorsement, Bihar Minister Santosh Suman congratulated CM Nitish Kumar on securing JD(U)’s Rajya Sabha ticket and submitting his nomination, predicting a transformative impact on India’s legislative agenda.

Nitish Kumar has earned acclaim for his spotless image and governance model that prioritizes public good. Bihar witnessed historic strides in women’s empowerment and holistic upliftment of Dalits and weaker sections under his stewardship, integrating society’s bottom rung into progress.

Suman highlighted how Nitish’s decades-long political journey, pragmatic outlook, and people-first approach will infuse new energy into Rajya Sabha deliberations. Bihar’s voice will gain unprecedented strength nationally, addressing long-standing issues effectively.

The minister is optimistic that Nitish’s humility, grounded lifestyle, and development zeal will elevate the Upper House’s stature while advancing national priorities.

Contrasting this, VIP leader Mukesh Sahni slammed the development as BJP’s calculated ploy. He reiterated pre-election warnings that BJP wouldn’t sustain Nitish as CM past 2025, a prophecy now unfolding.

Sahni alleged BJP’s pattern of devouring coalition partners in multiple states, with the ultimate goal of dismantling JD(U). Despite the assembly mandate favoring Nitish, this move insults public sentiment, ensuring BJP faces lasting backlash from Bihar’s electorate.

In a significant political maneuver, the opposition INDIA bloc has officially declared RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as its chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. This decision, reached after weeks of intense deliberations, is widely viewed as a strategic move to consolidate the alliance’s position and present a united front. The declaration aims to quell internal disagreements and bolster the bloc’s chances in the crucial polls. Political analysts suggest this move could be a turning point for the INDIA alliance in Bihar, emphasizing Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership. The alliance also reportedly designated Mukesh Sahni, often referred to as ‘Son of Mallah,’ as the Deputy Chief Ministerial candidate, further solidifying their leadership lineup. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has raised questions regarding the absence of Rahul Gandhi’s face on the alliance’s campaign posters, hinting at potential strategic differences within the opposition front.

Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha Attacks Congress, Calls Kharge a Rubber Stamp; Gandhi Family Makes Decisions

News Analysis India — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

JDU has once again labeled the Congress Working Committee meeting as a ‘mountain that produced a mouse.’ The JDU stated that the new gimmick in the name of justice, resolve, and extremely backward classes is clearly an electoral tactic. Following Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement calling Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar mentally retired, the BJP heavily criticized the Congress. Let’s take a look at the major news related to Bihar politics.

Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha criticized Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for his remarks about Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He said that by making such pointless comments on the Chief Minister, Kharge is expressing his anguish, the same way the Congress sidelined him from Karnataka politics and made him a rubber stamp president. He feels very sad and helpless. He is the president, but even today, decisions in the Congress are made by the Gandhi family. Sinha said that the culture of RJD and Congress has been to use and discard people outside a particular family. The country’s people still remember how Sitaram Kesri, who came from the backward society of Bihar, was humiliated and expelled from the Congress headquarters at the behest of Sonia Gandhi while he was the president.
