Nitish Kumar: Puppet or Power Player? Bihar's Longest-Serving CM Faces His Toughest Battle

This special report from India Today’s ‘Elections on my Plate’ delves into the political stature of Bihar’s longest-serving Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, amidst a challenging election. Featuring an exclusive interview with his key aide and JDU’s National Working President, Sanjay Kumar Jha, the program scrutinizes the critical question of whether Kumar is still in control or being directed by his allies. The sharpest criticism comes from the opposition, with Tejashwi Yadav alleging, ‘Nitish ji now is a puppet in the hands of a coterie and in the hands of Delhi’. The report travels to Kumar’s ancestral village, Kalyan Bigha in Nalanda, to gauge voter sentiment, particularly among women, who are beneficiaries of schemes like the Jeevika program, which provided ₹10,000 to many just before the polls. It explores the dichotomy of his image as ‘Sushasan Babu’ versus the growing fatigue after nearly two decades in power and a rising demand for a new, younger leader.
