If Nitish Kumar’s Son Enters Politics…”: Tejashwi Yadav’s Jab At JDU

Patna:

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday claimed he would be “happy” if Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant entered politics as it would “save” the JD(U) from BJP and other alliance partners.

Talking to reporters here, the former deputy chief minister, however, scoffed at Nishant’s appeal to the people of the state that they vote for his father in the upcoming assembly polls as the JD(U) supremo was “100 per cent” fit.

“My father is fitter than his father,” quipped Mr Yadav, when his response was sought to Nishant’s remarks the day before, adding, “Nobody has done as much as Lalu ji for the downtrodden. It was during his reign that recommendations of the Mandal Commission was implemented in Bihar.”

Mr Yadav, who is currently the leader of the opposition in Bihar Assembly, added “Nishant is like a brother to me. I wish him all the best. I would also like him to get married. If he decides to enter politics, he has the right to do so.
