Union Home Minister Amit Shah lauded Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s governance during the past two decades. Shah hailed Kumar as the ‘messiah of the poor’ and commended him for ending the “Jungle Raj” in the state. This praise came as Kumar signed nomination papers for his transition from the Legislature to the Parliament, marking a leadership change in Bihar.
Shah expressed admiration for Kumar’s commitment to the welfare of Bihar’s people, emphasizing the state’s progress under his leadership. The Union Home Minister highlighted Kumar’s role in steering Bihar towards development and good governance, attributing the state’s transformation to his dedicated leadership.
Accompanying Kumar for the filing of Rajya Sabha nomination papers, Shah praised Kumar’s extensive experience in public service. He noted that Kumar’s presence in the Rajya Sabha would enhance the effectiveness of proceedings and strengthen the NDA’s commitment to ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. The nomination process also included other prominent figures like BJP President Nitin Nabin and Union Minister Ram Nath Thakur.
Nitish Kumar’s exit from Bihar’s political landscape after ten terms as Chief Minister is seen as the ‘end of an era’. However, this transition will only be formalized after the Rajya Sabha elections conclude by March 16. Kumar expressed gratitude to the people for their trust and pledged to continue working diligently towards a developed Bihar.
