Patna: For decades, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had been one of the most vocal critics of dynastic politics. However, a recent development has raised questions about his long-standing political stance. Known throughout his parliamentary career for strongly criticizing the family-centric politics of leaders like Lalu Prasad Yadav and parties such as the Congress, Nitish Kumar has now allowed his son, Nishant Kumar, to step into the political arena.
On Saturday, Nishant formally joined the Janata Dal (United), sparking intense discussion in Bihar’s political circles. The move has led many observers to question whether Nitish Kumar is now following the very path of political dynasty that he had consistently opposed for years.
