Ever since Nishant Kumar (44), son of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has formally entered politics after joining Janata Dal (United) on March 8, 2026 he has been visibly active.
Junior Mr. Kumar who is likely to become one of the new Deputy Chief Ministers of the State is visiting Temples, Gurudwara, Mazar and various other locations to pay homage to eminent leaders to seek their blessings after joining the party.
First, he went to the JP Golambar, where he paid tribute to Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan by garlanding his statue. Subsequently, he visited the Karpoori Thakur Memorial Museum in Patna, where he paid his respects to Thakur, who was awarded the nation’s highest honour, Bharat Ratna, posthumously by the President in January 2024.
