As news of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar moving to the Rajya Sabha broke, a large group of Janata Dal (United) leaders and workers gathered at the party office and CM's residence in Patna, seeking clarity on the development.
Angry workers stopped some party lawmakers from entering the building, with one JD(U) leader saying, 'People had voted to see Nitish as CM and not for him to go to Rajya Sabha.'
JD(U) MLC Sanjay Singh echoed the sentiment, saying if Nitish wanted to go to Rajya Sabha, he would have briefed the party workers himself.
Some senior leaders in the JD(U) saw the development in a more positive manner, saying Nitish might shift his primary political role to New Delhi but is unlikely to disengage from Bihar politics.
With Nitish's move to Parliament, the big question on who would take his legacy forward looms large.
