"Made indelible contribution to development of Bihar": PM Modi congratulates Nitish Kumar for taking oath as Rajya Sabha MP

New Delhi [India], April 10 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday extended his heartiest congratulations and best wishes to Nitish Kumar on the occasion of his taking oath as a Member of the Rajya Sabha.

The Prime Minister remarked that Nitish Kumar is one of the nation's most experienced leaders whose commitment to good governance and indelible contribution to Bihar's development are widely recognised.

The PM noted that it is a pleasure to see him return to Parliament, affirming that his extensive experience as a veteran legislator and former Union Minister will significantly enhance the dignity of the House.

"Nitish Kumar is one of the most experienced leaders in the country. His commitment to good governance has been appreciated everywhere. He has made an indelible contribution to the development of Bihar.

It will be a great pleasure to see him in Parliament once again. He has also served for many years as a Member of Parliament and Union Minister. I am fully confident that his long political experience will further enhance the dignity of Parliament.

Heartiest congratulations to him on taking oath as a Rajya Sabha MP, and heaps of best wishes for his upcoming term," PM Modi posted on X. Nitish Kumar took oath as a Rajya Sabha MP today.

His ways of manoeuvring alliance politics have been crucial for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) being in power in Bihar.

The move to the Rajya Sabha marks the fulfilment of Kumar's long-stated desire to serve in every legislative house in India (Bihar Assembly, Bihar Council, Lok Sabha, and finally, Rajya Sabha).
