Speculation over Bihar’s next chief minister has intensified after Nitish Kumar resigned as MLC and signalled a move to the Rajya Sabha. NDA leaders are considering possible successors, with a decision likely after Kharmaas ends on April 14
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar expressed his "special affection" for Building Construction Minister Ashok Chaudhary, whose head he had playfully bumped with the head of a journalist also wearing a 'teeka' recently.
The BJP, which has clinched 31 more seats than the 43 pocketed by Kumar's JD(U), is likely to have two deputy chief ministers on the lines of Uttar Pradesh.
