PATNA: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is likely to take oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha on April 10, according to sources from the Chief Minister’s residence.

He is likely to travel to Delhi on April 8 or 9 to complete the formalities in the Upper House of Parliament.

Following his return to Patna, Kumar is expected to resign from the post of Chief Minister any time after April 13.

Political developments are likely to gather pace after April 14, when the 'Kharmas' period (an inauspicious one-month Hindu period) concludes.

Meanwhile, the Bihar Home Department has issued orders confirming that Nitish Kumar will continue to receive ‘Z Plus’ category security even after stepping down as Chief Minister.
