The Upendra Kushwaha nepotism controversy has once again become a hot topic in Bihar politics. The issue started when his son, Deepak Prakash, entered the Nitish Kumar cabinet without becoming an MLA or MLC. The opposition claims this is clear nepotism. Because of this, the Upendra Kushwaha nepotism controversy is growing in the state.
Upendra Kushwaha reacted to the criticism by sharing an old saying linked to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He wrote that flies always buzz around food. He added that people should keep eating with the right hand and keep shooing flies away with the left. His message hinted that critics will keep talking, and leaders should continue their work.
Although he did not directly mention his son, many believe the post targeted the ongoing attacks on Deepak Prakash’s appointment. Opponents keep raising questions about fairness in Nitish Kumar’s cabinet choices.
The family’s political presence is strong. Upendra Kushwaha is a Rajya Sabha MP. His wife, Snehlata, won the Sasaram seat. His son, Deepak, now holds the Panchayati Raj portfolio. This strengthened the opposition’s charges of favoritism.
The controversy continues, and Bihar watchers expect more statements, reactions, and political heat in the coming days.
