JDU's Sanjay Jha: Party wants Nitish Kumar's son Nishant to enter politics

• JDU working president Sanjay Kumar Jha stated party workers are eager for Nitish Kumar's son, Nishant, to join politics.
• Jha emphasized that the decision for Nishant, a 49-year-old engineer, to enter active politics is entirely his own.
• Nishant Kumar, who has recently become more publicly visible, refrained from commenting on the speculation.
• Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has previously criticized dynastic politics, a stance contrasting with the current speculation.
• The JDU achieved a strong electoral performance in the 2025 Bihar assembly elections, winning 85 seats.

Why It Matters: This signals potential dynastic succession in Bihar politics, despite CM's anti-dynasty stance.
