A new and significant face has emerged in the politics of Bihar. Pranav Kumar, brother of Anand Kumar who brought change in the field of education by associating with Super 30, is now active in politics. He has joined the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav inducted him into the party. Ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, the RJD hopes to gain new energy with the addition of an educated and socially influential figure like Pranav.
Pranav Kumar's New Innings
Pranav Kumar has been associated with the Super 30 mission for a long time. This institution has been helping economically weaker but talented students succeed in competitive exams like IIT by providing free coaching. Pranav Kumar has not only been an integral part of this mission, but he has also made a significant contribution to society through education.
Now that he has stepped into politics, it is believed that he may contest elections from a Patna assembly seat. Although there has been no official announcement yet, discussions about his potential candidacy are rife within the party.
Given his clean image and social contribution, political analysts believe that the RJD could greatly benefit from this, especially among urban voters and the youth.
Tejashwi Yadav's Strategy: An Educated Face
By including Pranav Kumar in the party, Tejashwi Yadav has signaled that the RJD now wants to give space in its organization to people who are educated, socially active, and command public trust. This move is considered part of the party's current strategy, which aims to woo urban and middle-class voters.
Pranav Kumar's image as an educationist and social worker sets him apart from traditional leaders. This is why Tejashwi Yadav gave him special importance by personally granting him membership and presenting him on a public platform.
Nitish-Anand Equation and New Political Direction
It is noteworthy that Super 30 founder Anand Kumar has so far been considered close to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. In such a situation, his brother Pranav Kumar joining the RJD is considered politically significant.
This step not only gives the RJD a new face, but can also create a stir in Nitish Kumar's camp. This is part of the RJD's strategy, under which it is preparing to win the next election by bringing educated and influential social figures together.
Political experts believe that if the party gives Pranav Kumar a ticket, his image and the credibility of Super 30 could strengthen the RJD on issues such as education and development. This step could pose a new challenge for the opposition parties.
