Nitish Kumar had filed nomination on March 5
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had filed nomination for Rajya Sabha on Thursday (05 March) in the presence of Home Minister Amit Shah.

What did Tejashwi Yadav say?
Earlier, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav also alleged, “The way he has won in the elections, it is the victory of plutocracy and machinery. Nitish Kumar has said that he wants to go to Rajya Sabha. We have been saying from the beginning that after the elections, BJP people will not allow Nitish Kumar to remain on the post of Chief Minister. Today that has come true. People’s aspirations are against this change of power.”
Elections for 5 Rajya Sabha seats on March 16
However, opposition parties allege that Nitish Kumar has taken the decision to go to Rajya Sabha under pressure from BJP. Opposition leaders say that this development is part of a larger political conspiracy by BJP to change the leadership structure in Bihar. Elections for five Rajya Sabha seats in Bihar are on March 16. NDA has a majority of 202 MLAs in the 243-member Bihar Assembly. However, to win all five seats it needs three more votes.
