Sharma said Nishant’s induction would bring fresh energy and a new direction to the party.

He also praised Nishant’s humility, highlighting how he sought blessings from senior leaders, including Union Minister Lalan Singh, soon after taking party membership. Sharma expressed confidence that Nishant would work closely with grassroots workers and strengthen the party organisation while carrying forward JD(U)’s principles of inclusive development and balanced politics.
