Assembly visuals show calm Nitish as JD(U) workers voice anger outside
March 5, 2026: Exclusive visuals from inside the Bihar Legislative Assembly captured Nitish Kumar filing his nomination for the Rajya Sabha, marking a major political moment in the state. Nitish appeared composed, healthy and confident during the proceedings, reflecting the experience of a leader who has dominated Bihar politics for decades. The rare inside visuals offered a glimpse into the formal nomination process as senior leaders and officials remained present.
Outside the Assembly premises, however, the atmosphere was more tense. Workers of Janata Dal (United) raised slogans and expressed frustration, with some alleging that conspiracies were at play to push their leader toward national politics. Senior party leader Ramnath Thakur was also present during the nomination process, acknowledging the responsibility given by the party leadership and thanking both his family and the people of Bihar for their continued support.
Supporters gathered in large numbers, chanting slogans that reflected both loyalty and concern as Nitish transitions from the Chief Minister’s office to the national legislature. Political observers say the move signals a historic shift in Bihar’s political landscape and could reshape the dynamics within the ruling National Democratic Alliance in the coming months.
