Sharing a picture of Nitish and Nishant on his social media account, Rajya Sabha member Kushwaha commented, “Received information from media/social media that today (Sunday) is the birthday of Nitish Kumar Ji’s son, Nishant. On this joyous occasion, heartfelt birthday wishes to Nishant, the new hope of JD(U). May God always keep him healthy and cheerful. On this occasion, I humbly request respected Nitish Ji to kindly accept the truth, considering the sensitivity of the time and circumstances, that it is no longer appropriate for him to run both the government and the party simultaneously. His vast experience in running the government should continue to benefit the state, which is currently essential for the state’s interest.”He added, “However, regarding the transfer of the party’s responsibility (which, in my opinion and that of thousands of workers/leaders of his own party, the time has now come), he should take a firm decision in a timely manner. This is in the interest of his party. Any delay in this matter could cause irreparable damage to the party. Perhaps a loss will be so huge that it may never be compensated.” Before concluding his post, he said, “What I am saying, perhaps the JD(U) leaders may not be able to say to the chief minister, and even if some people could say it, they might not be able to reach him.”Earlier, RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav had alleged that a group of JD(U) leaders were conspiring to keep Nishant away from politics to ensure their interests were not harmed.On the other hand, JD(U) leader Neeraj Kumar said that only Nitish would take a decision on the party leadership, adding that the party’s rank and file were behind the CM.Meanwhile, talking to the media, Nishant expressed confidence that his father and chief minister Nitish Kumar will return to power and the NDA will form the government after the assembly elections in the state. “People will support my father as he has done a lot of development work in the state,” he asserted.
