Bihar's political landscape may soon witness significant changes as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is anticipated to file his nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections. Current indications suggest the possibility of a new state chief minister.

The nomination, expected to happen with BJP's national president Nitin Nabin and under the watch of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, reflects strategic moves within Bihar's political framework. Sources close to the NDA confirmed this development to PTI on Tuesday.

This marks a pivotal moment as filing nominations for the Rajya Sabha elections concludes on Thursday. Additionally, there's speculation that Kumar's son Nishant might emerge as a key figure in these developments, potentially stepping into political roles soon.
