Tejashwi alleges JD(U) netas blocking Nishant's entry into politics
Patna: Leader of opposition in state assembly,
Tejashwi Prasad Yadav
, on Wednesday alleged that a group of JD(U) leaders were conspiring to keep chief minister
Nitish Kumar
's son,
Nishant Kumar
, away from politics to ensure their interests were not harmed.
Nishant, of late, was found taking keen interest in politics and frequently asking people to vote for his father in the upcoming assembly elections.
Talking to reporters on Wednesday, Tejashwi claimed Nishant wanted to enter politics and his father wished so too, but some JD(U) leaders, especially those from the 'bhunja party' (a term used for the CM's inner circle), were conspiring to prevent him from joining politics, fearing they could lose their influence if he steps in.
Citing examples, Tejashwi said a JD(U) MP fixed jobs for his two daughters, another MLA for his son-in-law, and a retired bureaucrat for his wife. "But when Nishant is willing to come to politics, they feel uncomfortable and are discouraging him," Tejashwi alleged, adding, "The close aides of CM are fully exploiting his deteriorating health by getting a number of their children and close relatives appointed to influential bodies.

Reacting sharply to the allegations, JD(U) national spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad said Tejashwi was making wild allegations out of fear of noticing his impending defeat in the upcoming elections. "Let aside Mungeri Lal's sweet dreams, he will no longer continue as the leader of opposition after the next elections," Prasad said.
He said Nitish has never been accused of promoting "dynastic politics". "On the other hand, RJD chief Lalu Prasad has set his entire family in politics, let aside his brothers-in-law," he said. Currently, Lalu himself, his wife Rabri Devi, their two daughters Misa Bharti and Rohini Acharya, and both his sons—Tej Pratap Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav—are active in politics.
