Bihar: Like father, like son? Nishant Kumar likely to inherit father Nitish Kumar’s political legacy. What does it mean?
Live MintBihar: Janata Dal chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar is likely to join politics ahead of assembly elections in the state scheduled later this year. Nishant has so far maintained a low profile, yet his name as Nitish Kumar’s political heir has been doing the rounds within the JD circles for quite some time now. The speculations about Nishant's political entry assume significance since the Bharatiya Janata Party plans to contest the upcoming Bihar elections with Nitish Kumar as the chief ministerial face. The 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly election for all 243 constituencies is scheduled to be held on October or November 2025 “Had Nishant joined politics a decade ago, he could have been a natural heir to Nitish Kumar,” the leader said.
