Nitish Kumar Will Be NDA's Bihar CM Face: JDU's Nishant Kumar

With only a few months to enthralling Bihar Assembly Election 2025, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's son Nishant Kumar made a bin statement on Tuesday. Nishant Kumar, who recently joined his father's Janata Dal (United), made it clear that Nitish Kumar will be National Democratic Alliance (NDA)'s Chief Minister face. He said, BJP and JDU will together strongly contest the forthcoming Bihar Assembly Elections 2025.

Talking to media in Patna, Nishant affirmed that Home Minister Amit Shah and Bihar BJP chief Samrat Choudhary expressed confidence in alliance and Nitish Kumar's leadership, which will take the state to new heights.

"I appeal to the people to form the government again under NDA's leadership, with my father at the helm," Nishant said.

"Amit Shah uncle came and said clearly that my father will be the CM face. Samrat Choudhary ji also confirmed that he has been with my father for the last 15 years and will fight the elections under his leadership," he added.

When asked about RJD's claim that BJP will replace Nitish Kumar as CM and bring in their own candidate, Nishant said, there is no question of anything like such.

"Amit Shah has said it, Samrat ji has said it - there is no question about it," JDU leader said.

"He is 100% fit and healthy. The public can see it for themselves. The people of Bihar will decide. I urge the people to give my father an even bigger mandate than the one they gave him in 2010," Nishant said about his father Nitish Kumar, who is aiming for another 5-year term.

Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 are likely to be held by the end of this year, but all parties have pulled up their socks.
