Patna, December 8, 2025: Supporters of the Janata Dal United (JDU) have begun projecting his son, Nishant Kumar, as a potential future leader of the party post-sweeping victory in the recently concluded Bihar Assembly election.
Nishant Kumar has always stayed away from politics and has never shown interest in joining his father’s party.
Nitish Kumar, too, has repeatedly said that he does not intend to put his son into politics.
Nishant Kumar’s possible political entry has been intensifying in recent days:
However, political discussions around Nishant’s possible entry have intensified in recent days.
Posters featuring Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his son Nishant Kumar have appeared across Patna, including outside the JDU office.
The poster read, Nitish’s follower… ask for Nishant…Now, Nishant Bhai is to take charge of the party.”
These posters congratulating Nitish Kumar on being sworn in as Chief Minister for a historic 10th time are also charged with the party, sparking a political stir in the state.
This sudden development has raised several questions within Bihar political circles.
Has Nitish Kumar changed his stance on bringing his son into politics?
Could Nishant’s entry reshape the future of the JDU? And what impact might this have on the broader political landscape of Bihar?
While there is no clarity on when or whether Nishant Kumar will formally enter politics, supporters believe that if he follows in his father’s footsteps and works for the people and the party, he could carve out his own identity in state politics.
The party’s top leaders also want his joining in JDU:
Adding fuel to the speculation, JDU National Executive President Sanjay Kumar Jha made a noteworthy statement on Friday.
Speaking to the media, he said that party workers, supporters, and well-wishers all want Nishant Kumar to join the party and contribute.
However, he emphasized that the decision ultimately rests with Nishant Kumar himself.
