Moments after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced his decision to step away from active politics and transition to the Rajya Sabha, the Congress party criticized it as a “leadership coup” orchestrated by “G2.” Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh labeled it a betrayal of the people’s mandate, hinting at a conspiracy to destabilize the Nitish Kumar government without explicitly naming anyone. Ramesh highlighted the significant support Nitish Kumar and JD(U) received in the recent Assembly elections.
Jairam Ramesh strongly criticized the upcoming power shift in Bihar, emphasizing that it was a result of a leadership coup and regime change influenced by G2. He described it as a betrayal of the people’s mandate. Ramesh pointed out that the Congress had been warning about this development during the Bihar election campaign, which has now materialized.
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar confirmed speculations by announcing his nomination to the Rajya Sabha, expressing gratitude for the public’s enduring trust and support during his tenure. This move follows his record 10th term as Bihar Chief Minister, signaling a significant transition in the state’s political landscape.

With Nitish Kumar’s departure as Bihar CM, speculations arise about his successor and the future of JD(U) and BJP governance in the state. While JD(U) leaders suggest that Nitish Kumar’s successor will have his backing, reports indicate a potential shift in power dynamics favoring the BJP. The political circles are buzzing with anticipation regarding the unfolding developments in Bihar’s leadership.
