RJD Criticises Move to Rename Nitish Kumar’s Birthplace

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) voiced strong opposition to the renaming initiative, accusing the Samrat administration of attempting to erase the symbols associated with Nitish Kumar. RJD leaders recalled earlier changes to institutions such as the Sitamarhi Government Medical College and the Botanical Garden, suggesting a pattern of altering names linked to political rivals. They warned that the proposed change could deepen partisan divides in the state.
