JD(U) leader Bhagwan Singh Kushwaha expressed discontent over the ongoing speculation within the party regarding Nishant Kumar's potential entry into politics.

Speaking to reporters, Kushwaha drew parallels between party president Nitish Kumar and RJD's Lalu Prasad, cautioning that if Nishant enters politics, there might be no discernible difference between the two leaders.
