News India Live, Digital Desk: Although the market of discussions is always hot in the politics of Bihar, but this time the matter is more interesting. We have often seen that Lalu Yadav’s family is accused of ‘nepotism’, but Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has always kept his family away from the glare of politics. But is this tradition going to be broken now? For the last few days, speculations about Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar entering active politics have increased.
Adding fuel to this fire is a video of veteran JDU leader Lalan Singh, which is currently spreading like wildfire on social media. The way Lalan Singh is talking about Nishant Kumar in this video has forced people to think whether some big preparation is really going on behind the scenes.
Till now Nishant has been seen as a very straightforward, simple and a person who stays away from limelight. He was neither seen in political rallies nor in controversial statements. But suddenly his name coming into discussion indicates that JDU is preparing a ‘Plan B’ for the future. Now the discussion in the streets of Bihar is whether ‘Sushasan Babu’ has made up his mind to hand over his political legacy to his son?
Obviously, if this happens then the opposition will get a big issue. For JDU which always opened a front against nepotism, proving this step right will be no less than a challenge. However, supporters believe that the entry of a clean face like Nishant into politics can breathe a new life into the party.
At present, after this viral video, neither any concrete statement has come from Nitish Kumar nor from Nishant. But as it is said that ‘there is no smoke without fire’, now everyone is just waiting to know when this ‘signing’ of Nishant Kumar happens. It will be very exciting to see what the next chapter of Bihar politics is going to be.
