Bihar Buzz: Will CM Nitish Kumar’s Son Nishant Kumar Enter Politics Through Rajya Sabha Route?

A new political storyline may be unfolding in Bihar. Speculation is mounting that Nishant Kumar could be the Janata Dal (United) nominee for Rajya Sabha. Party leaders have openly expressed support, saying the time has come for him to work among the people. While Ramnath Thakur is likely to be renominated, the second seat remains under intense watch. With NDA and Mahagathbandhan numbers in focus, the contest could turn interesting if opposition fields a candidate. For Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has long kept family away from politics, this decision could signal a new era — one that reshapes JD(U)’s future leadership trajectory.
