As soon as the posters surfaced, many questions have arisen regarding the intentions of the party workers and possible leadership change.
Below the picture of Nishant Kumar in the poster, it is written, Future CM of Bihar, Nitish Sevak Mange Nishant. Along with this, a picture of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has also been put up, in which an emotional appeal has been made to him not to leave Bihar. The message is clear that on one hand the workers want to retain the current leadership, while on the other hand an effort is also being seen to promote Nishant Kumar as the face of the future.

In fact, ever since the speculations about Chief Minister Nitish Kumar going to Rajya Sabha have intensified, the question of who will be the next Chief Minister of Bihar has become the center of political debate. JDU workers are continuously demanding from him to reconsider the decision. The same sentiment is reflected in the poster also. ‘Why are you thinking like this, when the people of Bihar do not accept that you leave the post of Chief Minister.’
Trying to create an environment in favor of Nishant
Meanwhile, support for Nishant Kumar seems to be increasing from within the party. Recently, when he had reached JDU office, even then the workers had described him as the future Chief Minister. Even during the Nalanda visit, local people, especially women, had raised their voice in his support. This indicates that efforts are being made to create an environment in their favor even at the grassroots level.
Anant Singh is also in favor of Nishant
This discussion got further fueled in political circles when Mokama MLA Anant Singh called Nishant Kumar CM material. He said that Nishant has a glimpse of his father. They are educated, calm and intelligent. However, he also clarified that the final decision will depend on the party leadership and alliance.
Churning going on on many faces
On the other hand, even within the NDA, speculations are being made about the possible faces for the post of Chief Minister. Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary is also being considered a strong contender, but till now no official announcement has been made by the alliance, due to which the suspense remains.
