Will Nishant Kumar become the successor of Nitish Kumar? Sanjay Jha’s statement created a stir in Bihar politics

News India Live, Digital Desk: Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has dominated the politics of Bihar for the last several decades, but now the biggest question arising is who will take charge of JDU and his political legacy after him? Meanwhile, a recent statement by JDU National Working President Sanjay Jha has heated up the market of speculations. Discussions have intensified whether Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar is going to enter politics and will he become the real successor of his father?

Discussion started with Sanjay Jha’s statement

During a private event, when Sanjay Jha was asked a question about Nitish Kumar’s successor, he gave some such hints which created a stir in the political circles. He said that the party and leadership will be decided when the time comes, but Nishant Kumar is a well-educated and decent personality. Although he did not announce any name directly, the mere mention of Nishant is being considered as a sign of a major change in the politics of Bihar.

Who is Nishant Kumar and what is his role?

Nitish Kumar’s only son Nishant Kumar has till now remained completely away from the glare of politics. Nishant, an engineer by profession, is known for his simplicity and spiritual nature. He is rarely seen in public programs. But in recent times, some senior leaders and workers of the party have raised the demand that Nishant Kumar should be active in politics so that the legacy of Nitish Kumar can be preserved.

Opposition targeted, war started on nepotism

As soon as Nishant Kumar’s name was discussed, the opposition parties have once again raised the issue of ‘familyism’. RJD and other parties say that Nitish Kumar, who has always been speaking against nepotism, is now also preparing to promote his son in politics? At the same time, JDU supporters argue that if someone comes forward on his own merit and the wishes of the workers, then it should not be called nepotism.

Will there be a big announcement before the 2025 elections?

In view of the assembly elections to be held next year in Bihar, the discussion of change of leadership within JDU is very important. Political pundits believe that to keep his party united, Nitish Kumar can bring forward a face on whom everyone can agree. Will Nishant Kumar be that face or will the party bet on an experienced leader, it will become clear in the coming few months. At present, Sanjay Jha’s statement has given a new turn to this debate.
