Nishant Kumar formally entered Bihar’s administrative frontline after taking charge as Health Minister amid the NDA government’s large-scale cabinet expansion in Patna.
The NDA staged a major political show in Patna as several leaders, including Nishant Kumar, joined the expanded Bihar cabinet led by Samrat Choudhary.
Ahead of a significant expansion of the Bihar cabinet on Thursday, there is growing speculation that Nishant Kumar, son of former chief minister and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar, might join the Samrat Choudhary cabinet.
Nishant Kumar, son of former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, will embark on a statewide ‘Sadbhav Yatra’ on Sunday from Bihar’s West Champaran district.
JD(U) leaders downplay speculation after Nitish Kumar’s public praise of deputy Samrat Choudhary, even as political circles discuss possible shifts in Bihar’s leadership structure.
A new chapter has begun in Bihar’s politics. Amid discussions about Chief Minister Nitish Kumar moving to the Rajya Sabha, his son, Nishant Kumar, officially joined the Janata Dal (United) on Sunday.
This marks a historic shift in Bihar's political landscape. After years of Nitish Kumar strictly opposing dynastic politics, his only son, Nishant Kumar, is set to formally enter the arena.
There is a possibility that a BJP leader may hold the position of Chief Minister.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, putting an end to weeks of speculation, announced on Thursday that he would move to the Rajya Sabha, while assuring that the new government in Bihar will continue to receive his full support and guidance.
This comes amid a meeting which is currently underway at the Bihar Chief Minister's residence in Patna between Nitish Kumar, JD-U National Working President Sanjay Jha, and Bihar minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary.
