On March 27, 2026, Bihar Congress leader Rajesh Rathod lashed out at BJP’s alleged efforts to target Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar. Rathod claimed that BJP had “disposed” of Nitish Kumar and was now focusing on his son. He highlighted Nishant’s 50 years of unemployment, stating that he had lived at Nitish Kumar’s home for 20 years.
Congress Questions the Significance of Nishant’s Recent Meeting
Rathod questioned the significance of Nishant’s recent meeting with his father. He sarcastically asked if Nishant had “gone to the zoo” or had a “job-related meeting” elsewhere. Rathod further mocked the notion that any important news stemmed from this encounter.
Alleged BJP Conspiracy Against Nitish Kumar’s Family
Rathod accused BJP of plotting against both Nitish Kumar and his son. He speculated that BJP aimed to “dispose” of them both. He pointed out that Nishant, at 50, was unemployed and had been living off his father’s resources. Rathod claimed that this situation raised doubts about BJP’s political agenda.
Allegations of Unemployment and Failed Governance
Rathod continued by accusing Nitish Kumar of contributing to Bihar’s unemployment crisis. He stated that under Nitish’s leadership, Bihar’s sugar mills shut down, and the state suffered economically. Rathod also claimed that Nitish’s governance fostered corruption and mafia rule. He emphasized that despite multiple terms in office, Nitish failed to improve Bihar’s economic standing.
The Ongoing Debate on Bihar’s Future
The political tension surrounding Nitish Kumar’s family remains high. As Congress and BJP clash, the future of Bihar’s leadership remains uncertain. Congress argues that BJP’s attacks on the Kumar family are politically motivated, highlighting the struggles of Bihar’s unemployed population under Nitish’s tenure.
