Resumo
The article is dedicated to one of the key figures in the politics of modern India, Nitish Kumar, in 2000, 2005–2010, from 2015 to the present time the Chief Minister of the state of Bihar, the leader of the regional party Janata Dal(United). His support for the conservative Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) and entry into the National Democratic Alliance(NDA) led by it in January 2024 allowed Narendra Modi to head the government of India for the third time in a row on 9 June 2024. A student activist, a participant in mass protests for the democratization of political life, a party agitator, a member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly and the Parliament of India, a minister of the central government and the chief minister of the state – these are the milestones of the bright political biography of N. Kumar. He consistently fights corruption and is considered a “clean” politician. Leading Indian news agencies have repeatedly called him the best chief minister of the country.
