Discussions were being held till Nitish became the next Vice President
Actually, it was a few days ago. In his chamber in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Nitish was having an informal conversation with some of the media persons. During this, he had said that in his political career spanning more than four decades, there is only Rajya Sabha, where he has not gone. He had said that I will not face any problem in going to the Rajya Sabha, but I am currently carrying out the responsibilities of the Chief Minister. Just because of this, the rumors of getting some big responsibility in the politics of his center started spreading. In fact, a few months later, the term of Vice President Venkaiah Naidu is also about to end. That’s why such rumors started flying that Nitish could be the next Vice President.
