Nitish Kumar Stays True To Ideals, Son Won't Seek Succession
Nitish Kumar, a leader in Bihar, may not let his son take over his political role.
He believes in a kind of socialism that doesn't support passing down power to family.
While some people in his party want his son to run for election, Kumar is hesitant.
This is because he wants to stick to his beliefs and not create a political dynasty.
So, his son is unlikely to participate in the upcoming election.
Nitish Kumar is reportedly reluctant to have his son, Nishant Kumar, succeed him in politics.
Nitish Kumar is known for his Lohiaite socialist beliefs against political inheritance.
Some JD(U) factions and an ally have suggested Nishant Kumar's candidature.
Nitish Kumar has advised patience, and his instincts remain guarded regarding succession.
Sources indicate Nishant Kumar will not contest the 2025 elections.
