What Did Nitish Kumar Ask?
Is Chirag Eyeing the CM Post?
Chirag has neither confirmed nor denied his ambitions, but his slogan “Bihar is calling” keeps surfacing. Bharti stated that Chirag aims to “remove the RJD’s jungle raj” and participate directly in the development of Bihar.
Interestingly, RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav hit back, saying, “Chirag should openly admit he wants to be CM instead of this drama.” This adds fuel to the speculation about his future plans.
What Does the NDA Stand to Lose?
Seat-sharing within the NDA could get complicated if Chirag’s LJP (Ram Vilas) refuses to align on constituency decisions. Nitish’s discomfort may be stemming from the fact that Chirag’s rally in Nalanda—Nitish’s home turf—on June 29 could attract over 2 lakh supporters.
Despite this, Chirag maintains that he will consult his party before final decisions and will return to seek Nitish’s blessings. NDA’s internal equations are in flux, especially with opposition parties watching closely.
What Lies Ahead for Bihar?
With assembly elections nearing, Bihar’s political landscape is shifting. Chirag’s aggressive stance may either rejuvenate the NDA base or create friction within the alliance. Meanwhile, the opposition senses an opportunity.
Whether or not he runs for CM, Chirag Paswan has made it clear—he wants to lead from the front in Bihar’s politics, not from the sidelines in Delhi.
