Seva yatra of nitish kumar biography

Nitish Kumar’s attempt to reinfuse life into the public perception around himself has hit a roadblock.

From 15 December, Kumar was scheduled to interact with the women of Bihar through the ‘Mahila Samvad Yatra.’

The proximity between its announcement date and the Jharkhand and Maharashtra election results indicated that Kumar and his team wanted to replicate the success stories of both states in the 2025 Assembly Election (AE) of Bihar.

However, the opposition took him head-on, and Lalu Yadav even used unparliamentary language to dismiss his Yatra as inconsequential.

Yadav alleged that Nitish Kumar was undertaking this Yatra to ‘ogle at women.’

Moreover, his son Tejashwi Yadav also announced that if his party (RJD) comes to power, it would provide Rs 2,500 per month to women in Bihar, modelled on the Maiya Samman Yojana in nearby Jharkhand.

Yadav has named his scheme the ‘Mai Bahin Maan Yojana.’
