Who’ll become CM? Search for Nitish successor in BJP
The Morning Standard
|March 06, 2026
BIHAR Chief Minister and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar on Thursday offered to step down from the CM’s post and move to the Rajya Sabha, triggering a high-stakes search for his successor, with BJP leaders like Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary, Nityanand Rai and Dilip Jaiswal, and even a possible young woman leader under consideration.
Sources said the BJP, in alliance with JD(U), will choose its own leader for the top post for the first time in Bihar. It will be a historic shift as BJP has never before placed its own leader as CM despite being the largest party in the assembly.
