Sanjay Kumar Jha, the working president of the Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) party and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, reaffirmed that Nitish Kumar, the former Chief Minister of Bihar, remains dedicated to the state's development. Jha highlighted that the JD(U) will contest the upcoming 2025-30 elections under Kumar's leadership with the support of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). He praised Kumar's political legacy, noting that the party has earned a significant place among the people of Bihar through his integrity and commitment over the past 20 years.

Following Kumar's recent election to the Rajya Sabha on April 10, discussions are underway regarding the new leadership in Bihar, with Nishant Kumar expected to assume the role of Deputy Chief Minister. This transition marks a pivotal shift in the state's political landscape, potentially transferring power to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Jha emphasized Kumar's modest lifestyle, stating that his personal integrity will be remembered in history, reinforcing his lasting impact on the state and its governance.
