Waiting for the right opportunity

New Delhi:Many meanings and interpretations may be drawn from Nitish Kumar’s silence and Nishant Kumar’s statements, but anyone who understands politics correctly can tell by knowing what is going on in the minds of the father and son.

Nishant Kumar, son of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, is constantly indicating through his statements that he is ready to enter active politics in Bihar. Nitish Kumar’s silence on Nishant’s statements is also indicating that the Chief Minister of Bihar is preparing to hand over both his political legacy and his party – Janata Dal United to his son.

Nitish Kumar has been against the politics of nepotism from the very beginning. Many times he has targeted Lalu Yadav for doing nepotism politics from a public platform. Even for decades, Nitish Kumar did not take his son Nishant Kumar with him on any public platform. But for the last few days, pictures of Nitish Kumar and his son Nishant Kumar are constantly coming out. Statements of JDU leaders are also constantly coming about Nishant Kumar’s entry into politics.

On the other hand, Nishant Kumar, who was praised for living a very simple life and staying away from the glare of the media, is the same Nishant Kumar who is constantly appearing in front of the media these days. The most noteworthy thing is that he is also creating a ruckus by giving statements to the media on serious political issues. For a moment, it can be assumed that he is appealing to the voters of Bihar to make his father the Chief Minister of Bihar again, but his speaking about the NDA alliance also shows that Nitish Kumar has decided to bring him into politics, Nishant Kumar is also preparing himself for this and now the right opportunity is being awaited for the launch.

What Nitish Kumar himself was not able to say with his mouth, he has played a big political gamble by making his son Nishant Kumar say it. Nishant Kumar, while giving advice to the biggest party of the NDA alliance, BJP, said, “NDA should also declare Nitish Kumar as the face of the Chief Minister. All the leaders and workers of JDU should together declare him as the CM face. So that development work continues under his leadership.”

On one hand, Nishant Kumar declared BJP as the leader of NDA alliance and advised it to contest the assembly elections, while on the other hand, he also made a big statement about leaders like Chirag Paswan and Prashant Kishore in gestures.

Pay attention to the words of Nishant Kumar. He said, “He appeals to all the youth of the state through the media that if the father has done development, then vote for him. Last time people gave him 43 seats, yet he did not let the sequence of development stop. This time the seats demand to increase, so that father can continue the work further.” Everyone knows that Chirag Paswan played a big role in defeating JDU candidates in the last assembly elections of 2020. Chirag Paswan, calling himself Hanuman of Narendra Modi, brought Nitish Kumar’s party to 43 seats in the 2020 assembly elections.

This time Prashant Kishore seems to be preparing to play a similar role. From the measured words and the composed manner in which Nishant Kumar is making his statement, it is clearly visible that each and every word has been chosen very carefully. This simply means that the preparations are being made on a large scale. In such a situation, it is believed that in this assembly election, the son of another great leader who emerged from the socialist ideology movement can be seen pleading for votes in the name of his father in front of the people of Bihar.
