00:03Nitish Kumar is the Biden of Bihar.

00:05Some people on the internet are saying.

00:06Is that a serious question, right?

00:10Joe Biden, 8 years older than Nitish,

00:13was forced to step down from the 2024 presidential election

00:16amid growing doubts about his brain health.

00:18In the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections,

00:20concern over CM Nitish Kumar's health

00:22is one of the primary planks used by the opposition

00:24against the NDA government.

00:25Narendra Modi ji, phir mukhya mantri bane.

00:28Desh ka vikaas ho, Bihar ka vikaas ho,

00:31sab kuch ho.

00:34Bihar's leader of opposition, Tejasvi Yadev,

00:36shared this video,

00:37alleging that the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar

00:39is not in the right state of mind.

00:41He further claimed that the BJP

00:42mixed something in a prasad and gave it to him.

00:45Like Biden, even Nitish has had unusual trouble

00:47with names in the past.

00:48Hand it over to the President of Ukraine

00:50who has as much courage as he has determination.

00:55Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.

00:56Like Biden's opposition in 2024,

01:05Nitish's opposition is not holding back either.

01:08Every moment where Nitish appears to miss a beat,

01:10it quickly starts doing the rounds online.

01:12Like this time when he was seen laughing

01:13while the national anthem was playing.

01:15Or this time when he predicted that the NDA

01:17would win over 4,000 seats in the 545 member Lok Sabha.

01:20Jan Suraj founder Prashant Kishore alleged

01:33that Nitish couldn't even name his ministers.

01:35Our JDA MP Sudhakar Singh went on to call Nitish

01:37medically alive but brain dead.

01:39But the NDA has denied all such speculations

01:41about Kumar's health.

01:44While Nitish Kumar is often targeted

01:46by the appellation for his alleged erratic behavior,

01:48the JDU chief,

01:49who won half the seats of the BJP

01:51and the RGD in the 2020 polls,

01:53remains the endiest face,

01:54backed by his Sushasana Babu tag.

01:56Unlike Biden though,

01:57Nitish has no clear successor in line.
