Son of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar May Step Into Politics Amid Health Concerns
As speculation grows around Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s health and future leadership, discussions have emerged about his son, Nishant Kumar, stepping into politics. JDU insiders suggest that Nishant, who has largely stayed away from active politics, could become a unifying figure within the party.
In a past interview, Nishant Kumar described his father as a strict disciplinarian, recalling how he was punished for neglecting school homework. Despite his spiritual inclinations, his potential political entry is being seen as a strategic move to maintain JDU’s internal stability.
Nishant has also publicly praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for key policies such as demonetization and the surgical strikes, indicating alignment with BJP-led governance.
While Nishant Kumar’s political ambitions remain uncertain, his emergence as a possible JDU leader could reshape Bihar’s political landscape. The party’s next steps will be closely watched, especially as leadership transitions become a focal point of discussion.
