Nitish Kumar's Imminent Resignation? BJP Poised for Bihar Takeover as TDP Stays Silent

Patna, March 5, 2026 – Speculation is rife that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is on the verge of resigning, with rumors swirling that he plans to file his nomination for Rajya Sabha soon.

Political circles buzz with claims that this could pave the way for a BJP leader to assume the top post in the state.Sources suggest Nitish's move mirrors a pattern where leaders aligning too closely with BJP have struggled to maintain their footing. "No one who lifts BJP to their head politically has lasted long," one analyst quipped, drawing parallels to past alliances. The post also hints at a similar fate looming for Andhra Pradesh's TDP, which has remained conspicuously silent on BJP despite national tensions—prioritizing power over state interests. "As long as we're in power, the state doesn't matter," the commentary notes wryly.The irony? Congress, historically unable to topple rival chief ministers in other states, now emerges as a stabilizing force. "Congress's value—and Sonia Gandhi's influence—is becoming clear across states," the analysis concludes, underscoring shifting alliances post-2024 elections.While unconfirmed, these whispers highlight the fragile NDA dynamics ahead of key legislative sessions.
