JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar announces he will file nomination for Rajya Sabha polls, ending his tenure as Bihar's longest-serving CM. The Telegraph Online had earlier reported that Nitish may move to Rajya Sabha. ADVERTISEMENTHe has confirmed that he would be resigning as chief minister and moving to the Rajya Sabha. He has already been a Lok Sabha MP, an MLA, and an MLC, and a Rajya Sabha stint would complete the quartet. That's why I want to become a Rajya Sabha MP in the upcoming election," Nitish wrote on X.
