Tejashwi Yadav said- Nishant is our elder brother, JDU can survive only if he comes into politics

Describing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar as his ‘brother’, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Friday said that if Nishant joins politics, there is a possibility that JDU will survive. He said that he is our brother. I want him to join politics as soon as possible; otherwise, the BJP will finish off the JD(U), the party formed by Sharad Yadav. He should join politics soon. If he joins politics, there will be a possibility of JDU’s survival. It will depend on how Nishant works for the party. Tejashwi further said that we did not join politics because our parents asked us to do so, but because the people of Bihar and our party workers needed it. The RJD leader described the Bihar Chief Minister as a Chief Minister of circumstances and said that the people of Bihar have rejected Nitish Kumar. He said that Nitish Kumar is the ‘Chief Minister of Circumstances’. The people of Bihar did not want him to become CM and rejected him. RJD was the biggest party. The former Bihar deputy CM said that there is no fight in Bihar and the people of the state want change and ‘developed Bihar’. He said that there is no fight here, people want change, want developed Bihar. Only a son of Bihar will take Bihar forward, not a Gujarati or an outsider. What did PM Modi give to Bihar and Gujarat in these 11 years, he has to tell. Reacting to the court summons in the land for job scam case, the RJD leader said, “Let it remain in the court. When the Election Commission has become the ‘cheerleader’ of the BJP, what can we say about the ED and the Income Tax (department)?”
