What’s inside:
This article discusses Nitish Kumar’s political presence in Bihar despite opposition claims of his retirement due to health and age.
Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is still active in politics, despite some opposition parties claiming he is unfit for leadership. They suggested that he would not be the Chief Minister again after the recent elections. However, the reality on the ground shows that he continues to work hard and stay engaged in his role.
Even at the age of 74 and having faced health issues, Nitish Kumar has been countering these claims through his actions. While the opposition focused on criticizing him, he was busy reviewing districts and making important decisions. Instead of staying away from the public, he has been very present and visible.
During the elections, while opposition leaders were limited to online campaigns, Nitish Kumar was traveling to meet people directly. After winning 202 out of 243 seats, he didn’t take a break but continued with inspections and meetings, showing his commitment to his duties.
Though he has kept a distance from media interactions, his consistent public engagements have made him a recognizable figure in Bihar politics. His ongoing tours, like the recent Samriddhi Yatra, are not just about reviewing schemes; they are also a way to challenge the narrative that he is tired or ready to retire.
Starting January 16, the Samriddhi Yatra will cover areas from West Champaran to Vaishali. This journey aims to reinforce his political strength and show that he will not step down based on rumors but will decide based on his capacity to serve.
Summary:
- Nitish Kumar remains active in Bihar politics despite opposition claims.
- He counters health and age concerns with continuous public engagement.
- His active role during elections contrasts with the opposition’s approach.
- Media avoidance hasn’t hindered his visibility or political identity.
