The JDU Sampatchak block in Phulwari Sharif has formally raised a demand to make Nishant Kumar the next Chief Minister of Bihar. Party leaders believe that Nishant Kumar leadership will help continue the development work started by Nitish Kumar. This demand comes at a time when political activities in Patna are intensifying with slogans and posters supporting a leadership change.
Major Support for Nishant Kumar Leadership
Leaders from the Sampatchak block stated that making Nishant Kumar the Chief Minister would ensure stable governance and keep the Nitish Model alive. They emphasized that focus on women empowerment and basic development requires a strong and young leader. Former MP Anand Mohan has also backed this idea, stating that if Nishant is to lead, he should do so in a full-fledged capacity rather than as a deputy.
Current Political Situation in Bihar
- Nishant Kumar recently joined the JDU and has been interacting with party workers and legislators
- Posters claiming Nishant Kumar as the future CM have been placed outside the JDU office in Patna
- JDU spokesperson Neeraj Kumar coined the slogan Jai Nishant Tai Nishant to show party support
- There is speculation that Nitish Kumar might move to the Rajya Sabha by April 13 leading to his resignation
