Nitish Kumar, Amit Shah, and other members of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) filed nomination papers for Rajya Sabha seats in Bihar, marking the end of Kumar's 20-year rule.

The NDA sources confirmed that Kumar will relinquish his Chief Minister position before leaving for Delhi to be sworn in as an MP, with speculation surrounding potential successors like Samrat Choudhary and Nityanand Rai.
