Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal (United) chief Nitish Kumar, who has time and again taken swipes at his opponents over dynasty politics, may induct his son Nishant into the party. According to a report, Privy to the developments has said that Nishant Kumar is likely to join politics after Holi as ‘he seems to be ready’.
“He is getting ready to join politics. It is only about getting the green signal from Nitish Kumar,” Indian Express quoted sources within JDU as saying. Reports suggest that Nitish Kumar has been made aware of the demand by party workers for Nishant Kumar’s entry into politics. Induction can happen after Holi.
In June 2024, JDU state general secretary Pram Hans Kumar had said, “It is the demand of time and situation that Nishant Kumar, Nitish Kumar’s son, comes forward for the welfare of the party and the state… Nitish Kumar opposes ‘Parivarvad’ But if a leader with a clean image has a son who wants to serve the country and the state honestly, what’s wrong in it? Nishant Kumar has no greed…he should definitely enter politics. ,
In early January, Nishant Kumar joined his father to unveil statues of freedom fighters in Bakhtiyarpur. Speaking to reporters later, Nishant Kumar appealed to the public to vote for his father in the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar.
“How will you help father, you all will vote for his party, then start it again.” [If it is possible, please vote for the JD(U) and my father and bring him back]”He was quoted as saying. He was asked if he would be involved in politics; he chose not to answer those questions.
But in January 2024, Nishant Kumar had dismissed speculations that he would join politics. He said that he had no interest in politics and had chosen to pursue a spiritual path.
Back in 2015, the JD(U) leader had praised Nishant Kumar for his understanding in politics. Asked if he would join politics, he said, “Of course. Youth with such progressive thoughts are welcome in politics. The decision will be taken at the right time. ,
The report surfaces despite Nitish Kumar’s clear stance against dynasty politics. “These days, many people in politics are more focused on promoting their own families. I never promoted my family; Rather I care about pushing others from the party,” he once said.
