The Janata Dal (United) State President Umesh Kushwaha on Tuesday announced that Nishant Kumar, son of party chief Nitish Kumar, will embark on a statewide tour of Bihar on May 3. Addressing a press conference, Kushwaha stated that the outreach program, titled 'Sadbhav Yatra', aims to establish direct contact with the public at the grassroots level and address their grievances.

"Just as our leader regarded the entire state of Bihar as his own family, Nishant Kumar will traverse the length and breadth of the state with that very same spirit," Kushwaha said. He noted that the initiative will see active participation from all party ranks, including senior leader Shravan Kumar, MLAs, MPs, and Panchayat representatives. The 'Sadbhav Yatra' is scheduled to unfold in several phases, with the initial two-day leg commencing from Bagaha on May 3 and 4. The second phase of the tour is set to begin from the historic land of Vaishali.

Kushwaha further highlighted the "immense enthusiasm" among party cadres for the initiative. He described the tour as a "historic journey" dedicated to fostering dialogue with the general public and strengthening connections with party workers. Kushwaha's announcement of the Bihar-wide tour comes days after the JD(U) reconstituted its national office bearers.
