RLM, JD(U) clash over Nitish’s legacy in Bihar
Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) National President Upendra Kushwaha recently projected himself as the real successor to Nitish Kumar’s political legacy; JD(U) State president slams statement and projects Nishant Kumar as the heir
The Rashtriya Lok Manch (RLM) and the Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)), both part of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar, have been locked in a struggle over the political legacy of former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. On August 21, RLM national president and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha declared himself as the "real successor" to Nitish's legacy, emphasizing that many in Bihar wanted the RLM to take charge of carrying forward the legacy.
Meanwhile, on August 22, JD(U) president Umesh Singh Kushwaha rebutted Kushwaha's claim, proclaiming his son Nishant Kumar, the Health Minister of Bihar, as the future of the state. Both parties staunchly claimed that they were the rightful inheritors of Nitish Kumar's political legacy and that they would ensure the continuation of his ideas and values in Bihar.
