Tejashwi Yadav said he would be \”happy\” if Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant entered politics. The former deputy chief minister 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. Speculations have been rife that Nishant, 47, could enter politics ahead of the assembly polls due later this year though neither he nor his father have spoken on the matter so far. Mr Yadav was also asked about a cryptic statement of minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary that the party was \”ready for polls at any time\” He said, \”I wonder if they have entered into some type of alliance with the Election Commission, which, like ED and CBI has started functioning like an instrument of the ruling BJP at the Centre\” He also said the PM’s tour of Bhagalpur scheduled on Monday would all rush to Bihar now, since they are done with Delhi. \”They do not care for the state but want to grab power,\” he said.
