Nishant Kumar, son of Nitish Kumar (Bihar's Chief Minister), has recently made his political debut as the Health Minister in the Samrat Choudhary government. This move has sparked discussions about the future of the Janata Dal (United) party, especially as Nitish, in his 10th term, faces health concerns and the need for a successor. Nishant, who joined the party on March 8, has been preparing for this role for some time, engaging with party workers and the public. His entry into politics comes with the baggage of dynastic politics, a stance his father has historically criticized, particularly against rivals like the Rashtriya Janata Dal. Despite being a political novice at 53, Nishant's family connections and his father's legacy position him as a potential leader for the party. As he navigates this new landscape, his actions will be closely monitored, with implications for both his career and the future of the JD(U).
