Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar brought together around 400 Janata Dal (United) workers from across the state for a key meeting at his Patna residence on Friday. With Bihar Assembly elections on the horizon, the session focused on strengthening the party’s ground game.
Kumar dove right into discussions, asking grassroots workers for honest feedback on how government schemes are rolling out in their areas. He made it clear: Everyone in the JD-U and the broader NDA alliance shares the duty to make sure these initiatives actually help everyday people.
The meeting took an intriguing turn when some leaders pushed for Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, to jump into active politics. JD-U Nalanda District President Ajit Chandravanshi and District Vice President Bharat Sharma led the call, arguing that Nishant’s involvement could fire up the party workers and boost morale.
Sources close to the meeting say Nitish Kumar promised to think it over. They added that workers in Nalanda district have already agreed to back Nishant as a candidate in upcoming elections.
The three-hour gathering gave Kumar a chance to chat one-on-one with each worker, getting the latest on local politics and how the public is responding in their constituencies. Top JD-U figures joined in, including Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Jha, Union Minister Lalan Singh, state president Umesh Kushwaha, and MLC Sanjay Gandhi.
This push for Nishant Kumar’s political debut has reignited buzz in Bihar politics. Talk of him entering the fray has swirled for years, but Nitish Kumar has stayed tight-lipped. Now, with nearly 400 workers raising the idea at such a high-level event, the speculation feels more real than ever.
Nishant Kumar has stepped out occasionally to speak publicly, urging folks to back his father in the elections ahead. As Bihar gears up for the polls, all eyes are on whether this family dynamic will play a bigger role in JD-U’s strategy.
