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. During this time, both the Deputy CMs of Bihar, Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha were present. The CM had announced his desire to go to Rajya Sabha before nomination.

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.

Rabri Devi, wife of former Chief Minister of Bihar and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, has to vacate the government residence located at 10 Circular Road. Notice has been issued by the Building Construction Department. He has been given a second residence at 39 Harding Road. Meanwhile, politics is going on continuously. Meanwhile, BJP leader and Union Minister Giriraj Singh has also reacted.

While talking to the media on Wednesday (November 26, 2025), Giriraj Singh said on this issue, “There is a village saying, the joint gets burnt but the spasm does not go away. Does anyone get a bungalow? MLA, MP, Member of Legislative Council, Leader of Opposition, Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister get? This is a constitutional process. I think it is not right to insist on this.”

RJD against this decision

Even though Union Minister Giriraj Singh has said that this is a constitutional process, RJD is not ready to accept it. RJD state president Mangani Lal Mandal has said that the bungalow at 10 Circular Road, located just opposite One Anne Marg, the official residence of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, will not be vacated under any circumstances. This decision shows the ill will of the ruling NDA towards our leader Lalu Prasad.

Even though politics is going on regarding Rabri’s residence located at 10 Circular Road, it is considered certain that he will have to vacate the house. Let us tell you that Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya has also spoken against this decision of the government. Now it remains to be seen what happens next.

‘…then there is no answer to madness’

On the other hand, journalists asked Giriraj Singh that Mamata Banerjee is saying that if BJP targets Bengal, we will shake the country. On this, the Union Minister said, “SIR will be implemented. SIR is a constitutional system, the voter list is purified. Therefore, it will happen. If they have accepted that Bangladesh has been made not Bengal and I (Mamata Banerjee) am the Prime Minister, then there is no answer to this madness.”

Rabri Devi, wife of former Chief Minister and RJD supremo Lalu Yadav, has received a notice to vacate her residence located at 10 Circular Road. Politics has intensified in Bihar on the notice given by the Building Construction Department. While the opposition is cornering the government on this matter, Jitan Ram Manjhi’s party (Hum) which is part of the NDA has now reacted on this. On Wednesday (November 26, 2025), HAM’s national president and Bihar government minister Santosh Suman said that the department has not done anything wrong. This is the decision of the court.

Santosh Suman said, “Four years ago, the Allahabad High Court had given a decision that no house would be allotted to any former Chief Minister. Rabri Devi is the leader of the House, hence till now she was living in the house located at 10 Circular Road. Now this is the decision of the government. She is not being made homeless. Notice has been given to change the house. The house she has got is also very big. There should be no politics in this.”

‘Government can change residence whenever it wants’

On Tej Pratap Yadav’s statement about Lalu-Nitish’s friendship, Santosh Suman said, “Whatever Tej Pratap Yadav may be saying in politics, but he also knows the law very well. This is the reason why he himself vacated his residence after losing the election. So no kind of politics should be done in this too. This is a government residence and it belongs to the government. The government can change the residence whenever it wants.”

Let us tell you that when Jitan Ram Manjhi became the Chief Minister of Bihar, he had given special facilities to the former Chief Minister. Y+ category security was provided along with large accommodation. In such a situation, at that time all the former Chief Ministers started getting this facility. Jagannath Mishra who was alive at that time was also given this facility. When Nitish Kumar resigned from the post of Chief Minister and made Jitan Ram Manjhi the Chief Minister, all these arrangements were made for Nitish Kumar also. However later this rule changed.
