As political parties prepare for the next Bihar Assembly elections, speculation is mounting about the potential political entry of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's son, Nishant Kumar.
It is being reported that Nishant would formally join the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) post-Holi and might even contest the Assembly elections later this year. Yet, he has been evasive when asked about his political entry.
When IANS asked Nishant Kumar about his political ambitions, he declined to give a categorical reply.
Nishant Kumar Supports Nitish Kumar's Leadership
Talking about the elections, Nishant Kumar said confidently about his father's leadership, "My father can lead the government for another five years. He is in great shape."
Reacting to opposition allegations of Nitish Kumar's health, Nishant categorically brushed aside all speculations, asserting that the Chief Minister is fit and more than capable of working for the people of Bihar. He underlined that Nitish Kumar has always devoted himself to the development of the state and is as much devoted today.
Call for Support in the Upcoming Elections
Nishant Kumar also appealed to the citizens of Bihar to support the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) in the next elections, asking them to cast their votes for the alliance to give his father's government another term.
In a media interaction on February 25, Nishant appealed directly to the electorate, especially the youth, to vote for Nitish Kumar's leadership. "My father has always focused on development. Last time, you gave him 43 seats, and he carried on working. This time, give him more seats so that development can go on," he said.
Furthermore, he called upon JD-U workers to actively promote Nitish Kumar’s contributions, urging them to inform the public about the government's achievements to ensure widespread awareness of its developmental initiatives.
