Senior JD(U) leader Shyam Rajak expressed support for Nishant Kumar’s possible foray into politics, echoing Union Minister Lalan Singh’s endorsement. Rajak praised Nishant Kumar as a capable and promising youth leader, emphasizing that the decision ultimately lies with him. He highlighted the potential positive impact of Nishant Kumar’s leadership on Bihar.
The endorsement faced criticism from the opposition RJD, with spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed accusing JD(U) of orchestrating a planned political debut for Nitish Kumar’s son. Ahmed alleged that recent events, including a Saraswati Puja incident, were strategically staged to pave the way for Nishant Kumar’s political entry. He criticized JD(U) for purportedly contradicting its stance on dynastic politics.
Ahmed further accused JD(U) of engaging in dual politics by advocating for Nishant Kumar’s political career while projecting Nitish Kumar as anti-dynasty. He claimed that Nitish Kumar’s alleged shift towards dynastic politics contradicts his socialist image. The ongoing endorsements and opposition reactions indicate a growing debate over Nishant Kumar’s political future in Bihar.
Amidst the escalating discourse, Nishant Kumar has not publicly announced any political intentions. However, the increasing support from JD(U) leaders and the backlash from the opposition suggest a deepening discussion on Nishant Kumar’s potential political role in Bihar.
