Nitish Kumar is one of the most talked about politicians of India. Once he was seen as a leader who can challenge the hegemony of the BJP. Media used to present him as the face who can fight Narendra Modi in 2019. However, things have changed drastically after the breaking away of Mahagathbandhan.
Despite all this
media attention that Nitish Kumar is garnering, it is really surprising that
majority of people are not aware about his personal life. I have talked with
many Biharis, and they also seem to have opinion based on rumors and hearsay.
This is an
article which summarizes some facts about Nitish Kumar personal life.
Wife of Nitish Kumar
Nitish Kumar is
a widower. His wife Late Manju Sinha died few years back. There are lots of misconceptions
among people about the relationship of Nitish with his wife Manju Sinha. One thing
is definitely true that Manju Sinha was a god fearing and hard working person.
She continued to work and used to live on meager salary even when Nitish Kumar
was Cabinet minister and then the Chief Minister of Bihar.
It is said that
Manju Sinha never stayed at the CM house. However, I couldn’t find any reliable
information about this fact.
Nitish Kumar was
seen weeping bitterly after the death of Manju Sinha. He performed all rites at
the funeral.
I have also seen
memorials in Patna and at Kalyan Bigha that Nitish Kumar had made in the memory
of Late Manju Sinha.
Son of Nitish Kumar
Nishant Kumar is
the son of Nitish Kumar. Like his wife, there are lots of rumors going around
about the relationship of Nitish with Nishant. People were saying that Nishant
doesn’t stay with his father. However, he was clearly seen during the swearing
in ceremony of Nitish Kumar at Gandhi Maidan. He was also quite optimistic
about his father becoming the PM of India at some point of time.
Nishant is an
engineering graduate. He is not doing any job. Currently, he is staying with
Nitish Kumar along with wife and children.

Girlfriend of Nitish Kumar
There are some
rumors about the relationship of Lalan Singh sisters with Nitish Kumar. As you
might know, Lalan Singh is a trusted aid of Nitish Kumar. They are quite close.
However, they have never been seen in public with their families.
It was Rabri
Devi who had accused Nitish Kumar about this relationship. Lalan Singh had even
filed a defamation case against Rabri Devi. It is laughable that Lalan Singh
and Nitish Kumar do not have any problem with Rabri Devi at this moment.
There is not any reliable information available in the public domain about this relationship. I think this is another rumor which was propagated to malign the image of Nitish Kumar.
