Sat Mar 01 16:44:32 UTC 2025: ## Paswan Predicts Nitish Kumar’s Return as Bihar CM After NDA Victory

**Patna, March 1, 2025** – Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan has confidently predicted that Nitish Kumar will reclaim the Chief Ministership of Bihar following a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) victory in the upcoming state assembly elections. Speaking to reporters, Paswan welcomed the potential entry of Kumar’s son, Nishant, into politics, while criticizing RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav for alleging a conspiracy to hinder Nishant’s political aspirations.

Paswan urged Yadav to address his concerns directly with Kumar instead of making public pronouncements. He extended birthday wishes to the 74-year-old Kumar, emphasizing the NDA’s commitment to contesting and winning the elections under his leadership.

This statement comes amidst speculation of potential friction within the NDA, with the BJP reportedly considering alternatives to Kumar’s leadership. Paswan’s assertion seemingly counters these rumors.

He also responded to Yadav’s comparison of the 20-year NDA rule in Bihar to a dilapidated car, and the RJD’s accusations of criminal backgrounds amongst recently appointed ministers. Paswan retorted that the RJD’s own past fifteen years in power were marked by lawlessness and that the RJD should not criticize others’ records given recent summons issued to members of the Yadav family in connection with a land-for-jobs scam.

Furthermore, Paswan hinted at growing tensions between the RJD and Congress, suggesting that recent actions by the newly appointed Congress in-charge for Bihar indicate a shift away from the RJD’s dominance.
