Amid strong indications that Nitish Kumar is set to transition to national politics by taking oath as a Rajya Sabha member, supporters of the Janata Dal (United) (JD-U) have launched an emotional appeal urging him not to leave Bihar.
A poster campaign led by JD(U) worker Krishna Patel has surfaced across party offices and various locations in Patna. The poster features images of Nitish Kumar, his son Nishant Kumar, and JD(U) state President Umesh Kushwaha.
The message on the poster reads as a heartfelt plea: “Do not abandon Bihar; do not
leave us—the people of Bihar—orphaned.” It further states that Nitish Kumar’s leadership provides unmatched security and stability, adding that while his mission remains incomplete, Nishant Kumar could carry it forward.
Nitish Kumar, who has served as Bihar’s Chief Minister since November 2005, was elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha on March 16. Subsequently, he resigned from his position as a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) on March 30.
He arrived in Delhi on Thursday and is scheduled to take oath as a Rajya Sabha MP today.
