Nishant Kumar joins JD(U), says will work in Bihar under his father's guidance

Nishant Kumar, son of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, formally joins JD(U), pledges to work under his father's guidance and carry forward his development legacy.

"We will work in Bihar under his guidance. - Nishant Kumar"

Patna, March 8

Nishant Kumar, son of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, formally joined the Janata Dal at the party headquarters in Patna on Sunday afternoon, marking the beginning of his active political journey.

The event was attended by several senior party leaders, including JD(U) national working president Sanjay Kumar Jha, Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary, Energy Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav, and state president Umesh Singh Kushwaha.

During the ceremony, Sanjay Kumar Jha presented Nishant Kumar with a party memento and cap, while Lalan Singh honoured him by tying the party turban.

Speaking after formally joining the party, Nishant Kumar said he would work under the guidance of his father.

"Today, I came here to join the party. My father has decided to go to the Rajya Sabha, and it is his decision. We will work in Bihar under his guidance," he said.

He added that Nitish Kumar has done immense work for the development of Bihar, and pledged to carry forward that legacy.

Nishant also thanked the party leadership and appealed to workers and supporters to continue their enthusiasm and faith in the party.

After joining the JD(U), Nishant Kumar greeted senior leaders and touched the feet of Lalan Singh as a mark of respect.

According to JD(U) MLC Neeraj Kumar, Nishant Kumar will soon begin touring different regions of Bihar and interacting with the public.

Sources indicate that he may begin his political outreach from the Champaran region -- a place that holds symbolic importance, as Nitish Kumar had also begun several of his political visits from there.

Party insiders believe Nishant Kumar is likely to play an important role in strengthening the organisational structure of the party in the coming days.

Nishant reiterated his commitment to continuing Nitish Kumar's development agenda and said he would fulfil any responsibility assigned to him by the party with full dedication.

Touching the feet of senior leaders shows good sanskaar and respect for elders. It's important for the new generation to carry forward both development work and our cultural values. Wishing him success in his journey.

Another dynastic entry? 😏 I respect Nitish Kumar's work, but is there no one outside the family capable of leading? The party should promote talent based on merit, not just lineage. This is a setback for genuine grassroots workers.

Interesting to see how this plays out. He seems humble and willing to learn. If he can connect with the youth and understand their aspirations, he could be a positive force. The real test will be his work on the ground.

JD(U) needs young faces. Nitish ji has done a lot for Bihar's development - roads, electricity, law & order improved. If his son is sincere about continuing that work, we should support him. But he must prove himself, not just rely on the surname.

Hope he focuses on women's issues and safety in Bihar. We need leaders who will work on education for girls and job creation. His father's guidance is good, but he should also bring his own vision for a modern Bihar.
