The son rises in Bihar politics: Nishant Kumar officially affiliates with JDU today at the state office, treading the trail blazed by father Nitish from Champaran. Whispers of a deputy CM berth for the young entrant are growing louder, promising to reshape JDU’s hierarchy as Nitish eyes an exit from the top job.
With political mercury soaring after Nitish’s CM exit pledge, Nishant’s entry is a masterstroke for continuity. Expect him to spearhead JDU’s cadre mobilization soon, with ministerial roles on the horizon.
Nitish, undeterred, rolls out the Sampannata Yatra – a four-day blitz from March 10: Supaul first, then Kishanganj-Araria, Katihar-Purnea, and wrapping up at Madhepura-Saharsa-Khagaria. He’ll base himself at Lalan Saraf’s in Madhepura, blending policy push with personal bonds.
Enter the center’s gaze: Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary links up with Amit Shah at Bagdogra today. This pit-stop powwow amid Shah’s Bengal hop is primed for talks on Rajya Sabha battles and Bihar’s administration reboot. In this cauldron of change, every move matters profoundly.
