Nishant Kumar: Before the Bihar assembly elections, there has been a lot of activity in the politics of the state. Discussions are in full swing regarding the entry of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's son Nishant Kumar into politics. Two days ago, Nishant Kumar reacted to the comments being made about his father's health and now posters have been put up in his support outside the JDU office in Patna.Workers' demand - Nishant Kumar should come into politicsThe posters put up outside the JDU office in Patna read - "Bihar Kare Pukar... Come Nishant Kumar...". JDU workers have tried to give the message by putting up posters that they want to see Nishant Kumar active in politics. Senior leaders of the party have also described it as the sentiment of the workers and described Nishant as a capable and competent person.Tejashwi Yadav replied to Nishant KumarOn the response given by Nishant Kumar, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said, "My father is healthier than him (Nitish Kumar). Lalu Prasad Yadav worked towards social justice and got a package of Rs 1 lakh 65 thousand crore from the Center for the development of Bihar. The work that Lalu Prasad Yadav did for Bihar, no one else has done it."Tejashwi Yadav further said, "Nishant Kumar is like my younger brother and he should be careful now. But he also has to think that people like Samrat Chaudhary, Vijay Sinha, Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who are with Nitish Kumar today, used to question his mental balance earlier."Preparations for Bihar assembly elections intensifyAssembly elections are to be held in Bihar later this year and along with political rhetoric, poster war has also started. The conflict between JDU and RJD is increasing. On one hand, JDU is emphasizing the possibility of Nishant Kumar entering politics in view of the sentiments of its workers, while on the other hand, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav is handling the political front with full force.Now it remains to be seen whether Nishant Kumar will enter active politics or not, and if he does, what impact will it have on Bihar politics.
