Will anti-dynasty Nitish allow son to join politics?

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's son, Nishant Kumar, has stirred political waters by urging the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to nominate his father as their chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming state elections. This move has sparked speculation about Nishant's potential entry into politics, raising questions about whether Nitish, known for his anti-dynastic stance, will embrace a change in family tradition. Nitish Kumar has long been a vocal critic of political dynasties, consistently advocating for merit-based leadership over familial succession. Despite this, Nishant's recent actions suggest a possible shift in the Kumar family's political dynamics. While Nishant has not officially entered the political arena, his vocal support for his father hints at his growing interest in public affairs. The development has caught the attention of political observers and party insiders alike, as they ponder the implications of Nishant's potential political debut. As the state gears up for elections, the focus remains on whether Nitish will uphold his anti-dynasty principles or pave the way for a generational transition within his political legacy.
