Speculation over Nishant Kumar’s potential Rajya Sabha bid from JD(U) has received an unexpected thumbs-up from LJP (Ram Vilas) MLA Raju Tiwari, who promised a hearty welcome if the CM’s son enters the fray.
Dismissing internal party matters, Tiwari focused on positives: ‘Nishant embodies youth and his father’s storied service to Bihar. Active politics suits him perfectly.’
He highlighted Nishant’s innovative mindset, piety, and potential as a leader who could drive Bihar forward. Tiwari took a swipe at Tejashwi Yadav, mocking his opposition role: ‘Bihar witnessed his so-called prowess firsthand.’
Asserting NDA’s sweep of all five seats, Tiwari noted, ‘No disputes around Nishant—he’s controversy-free with a promising path. I pray he connects with the masses and contributes meaningfully.’
JD(U) grassroots have campaigned for Nishant via posters for years, but Nitish and son remain tight-lipped.
Tiwari pledged full backing to NDA decisions, signaling alliance solidarity. As Bihar eyes electoral battles, Nishant’s rumored ascent hints at dynastic yet fresh political winds.
