Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is going to Rajya Sabha. RJD’s senior leader Shivanand Tiwari has reacted on his visit to Rajya Sabha. Through his social media platform, he has said a lot about this decision of Nitish Kumar. Also, old things related to the Chief Minister have been mentioned.
Last Wednesday (March 18, 2026), Shivanand Tiwari said through a Facebook post that I do not know what Nitish Kumar is going to do next after becoming a member of Rajya Sabha. There is a discussion that he can become a minister in the central government. Whether he joins the Central Government cabinet or not depends on his wish, but if this happens then in a way it will be considered a moral victory of Narendra Modi.
‘…So what could be a greater pride than this’
He said, “Remember, this is the same Nitish Kumar who never even wanted to see the face of Narendra Modi. Because of Narendra Modi, he had even canceled the banquet organized for the members of the National Executive of the Bharatiya Janata Party. In such a situation, if he becomes a member of Narendra Modi’s cabinet today, then what could be greater pride for Modi ji than this!”
Shivanand Tiwari said that at one time he had worked with Nitish Kumar. After being a member of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s cabinet and being the longest serving Chief Minister of Bihar, would it be appropriate and dignified for him to become a member of the Modi cabinet? There was a time when he did not allow Narendra Modi to campaign in Bihar for the NDA alliance. He used to say that there is already a Modi in Bihar (Sushil Modi), what is the need of another Modi here.
‘It is favorable to make the national coordinator of NDA alliance’
The senior RJD leader said that if Narendra Modi really wants to give respect to Nitish Kumar, then making him the national convenor of the NDA alliance would be more favorable to his prestige. This will maintain their dignity and also maintain their role in coalition politics.
