Leaders close to CM Nitish Kumar blocking his son’s entry into politics, says Tejashwi Yadav

In a recent statement, Tejashwi Yadav, the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, has accused close aides of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of engaging in nepotism by hindering the political aspirations of Kumar's son, Nishant Kumar. Yadav alleges that despite Nishant's interest in politics, influential figures within the CM's circle are blocking his entry, raising questions about internal dynamics within the ruling party. Tejashwi Yadav's remarks come amid heightened political activity in Bihar, as he also took the opportunity to critique Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state. Yadav suggested that the visit, which was ostensibly for developmental announcements, was more about political posturing than genuine concern for Bihar's progress. This criticism highlights the ongoing tension between state leaders and the central government. The accusations have stirred discussions about succession and leadership within the state's political landscape. While Nishant Kumar has maintained a low public profile, the controversy brings attention to the potential generational shift in Bihar's politics. Observers are keenly watching how these dynamics might influence future political alignments and the strategies of Bihar's key political players.
