Posters Call, Party Waits: Latest JD(U) Banner in Patna Urges Nishant Kumar to Step Into Politics

Patna: The political circles in Bihar are abuzz with speculation about Nishant Kumar, son of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, taking his first steps into active politics. Over the past few weeks, a wave of posters in support of Nishant has emerged across the state, with the latest appearing at the JD(U) office. The message on the poster is simple yet telling: “Nishant Kumar, you have heard the demands of Bihar. Thank you very much.”

This is not the first time such posters have surfaced. Earlier, JD(U) workers had made similar appeals, urging Nishant to enter the political fray. The increasing visibility of these messages suggests that a section within the party is keen on seeing a new political chapter for the chief minister’s son.

A Symbolic Holi and Growing Engagement
Adding to the intrigue was the Holi Milan celebration at the Chief Minister’s residence, a tradition revived after several years. Nishant Kumar was a prominent presence at the event, mingling with party leaders and workers, applying gulal (coloured powder) in a symbolic gesture of camaraderie. His active participation has further fueled speculation about a potential political debut.

Although there has been no official announcement, Nishant’s increasing engagement with JD (U) members and his willingness to address key political issues have not gone unnoticed. His recent interaction with the media, where he openly discussed multiple issues—including the call to declare Nitish Kumar as the chief ministerial candidate—has only added to the growing buzz.

The Road Ahead: A New Political Legacy?
The growing enthusiasm among JD (U) workers is evident. Through posters and public appeals, they are signaling their hope that Nishant Kumar will soon play a more active role within the party. His presence at the Holi Milan event appears to have strengthened these expectations, with party cadres now openly advocating for his political debut.

While the final decision remains with Nishant Kumar and his father, the growing grassroots momentum suggests that his entry into Bihar politics may not be a matter of if but when.
