But in January 2024, Nishant Kumar had dismissed the speculations that he would join politics. He stated that he had no interest in politics and had instead chosen to pursue a spiritual path.
Back in 2015, JD(U) leader had praised Nishant Kumar for his understanding in politics. When asked if he would join politics, he said, “Of course. Youth with such progressive ideas are welcome in politics. The decision will be taken at the right time.”
