What’s inside:
This article discusses the recent political meeting in Bihar, highlighting potential leadership changes after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Bihar’s political scene is buzzing with talks and speculations. Recently, a significant meeting took place at Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s home, which has sparked discussions from Patna to Delhi. In attendance were key JDU leaders, including Rajiv Ranjan Singh, known as Lalan Singh, and Sanjay Jha. The focus of this meeting was not on the BJP, but on what might happen to Bihar after Nitish Kumar.
During the meeting, Amit Shah raised important questions about the future leadership in Bihar if Nitish Kumar steps down due to health issues. He inquired whether Nitish’s son, Nishant Kumar, could be his successor and possibly become the Deputy Chief Minister. Although both the JDU and BJP have not officially commented, silence in politics can often speak volumes.
Shortly after this meeting, Sanjay Jha and Nishant Kumar were spotted together at Patna airport, which many believe was not just a coincidence. Jha’s remarks about party supporters wanting to see Nishant in politics suggest that he may soon take on a more prominent role. There’s buzz that after January 14, when the Kharmas period ends, Nishant might officially join the JDU.
Within the JDU party, opinions are divided. Some members want Nishant to join the government directly, while others feel he should start by leading the organization first. Nishant has not publicly commented on these speculations, only smiling when approached by the media, which many see as a significant political statement.
The BJP is concerned about maintaining their support among the extremely backward classes, and they want to ensure that a successor is chosen while Nitish Kumar is still in power. Posters promoting Nishant as the future leader have already appeared in Patna, indicating that many believe he is the right person to continue Nitish’s legacy.
