Without Nishant Kumar, JD(U) faces exodus to BJP, RJD, warns Gopal Mandal

Patna, July 3 (UNI) JD(U) MLA Gopal Mandal has once again advocated for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar’s entry into politics, saying that Nishant "is the only hope". If he joins politics, then there would be the possibility that JD(U) will survive.
Mandal painted a grim picture of mass defections to rival parties – BJP, RJD, LJPR, and others – should Nishant Kumar not contest the upcoming elections.
Gopal Mandal stated that Nishant Kumar, like his father, is an engineer. "He is incredibly intelligent. He delivers excellent statements".
He said: “The party is desperately waiting for him and everyone wants him to contest the upcoming assembly elections as well. If Nishant doesn’t join the JD(U), it will cause a mass exodus. Party leaders will flee to the BJP, RJD, LJP, or other party," he claimed.
Several other party leaders have also urged Nishant to join the party, arguing that he can uphold Nitish Kumar’s political legacy and his presence in the JD(U) is crucial.
This sentiment has been echoed by leaders of other parties as well. Even opposition figures like Tejashwi Yadav have also advocated for Nishant’s immediate entry into active politics. However, Nishant consistently deflects these calls.
When asked about the mental health of Nitish Kumar, Mandal said: “He is absolutely fine. We visit him frequently. He is absolutely fit both mentally and physically. His facial expressions are likely due to a recent teeth cleaning.”
