New Delhi, March 5 -- Congress leader Udit Raj on Thursday said that he is surprised by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's move to Rajya Sabha, stating that the step would result in weakening Janata Dal (United).

Highlighting unemployment and low standard of education in government institutions within Bihar, Raj said that if Nitish Kumar becomes an MP, it will be more "honourable" for him to take up "no roles".

"I am surprised as to how Nitish Kumar agreed to it. This will result in weakening of the JD(U)... There are no jobs, and everything has been privatised. The standards of the government schools are at their lowest... If he is going to be an MP, it would be more honourable for him to take up no roles," Udit Raj said.
