JD(U) Leader Supports Nishant Kumar as Potential Future Bihar Chief Minister
Senior JD(U) leader Devesh Chandra Thakur expressed support for Bihar Health Minister Nishant Kumar as a potential future chief minister, hoping he follows his father Nitish Kumar's legacy. Nishant, who entered politics in March 2024, initially declined a deputy chief minister role but later joined the cabinet. JD(U) workers voiced confidence that Nitish Kumar's retirement would not create a leadership vacuum, praising his two-decade tenure as Bihar's chief minister.
