Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was surprised on Thursday when he learned that the oldest person in the area is several years younger than him. After hoisting the flag in capital Patna, Chief Minister Nitish went to a nearby village where he met the oldest person there. Seeing him weak and tired, Nitish said, ‘People don’t know my age. Why do you look so tired? You will be physically active.
The state’s longest-serving Chief Minister Nitish Kumar visited the nearby Mahadalit village on Thursday, soon after hoisting the tricolor at the historic Gandhi Maidan on Independence Day. He has been doing this every year on the occasion of Independence Day for many years.
Ask the oldest person in the group about his age
According to tradition, Ramashish Ram, the oldest resident of Mahadalit Tola of Danapur, on the outskirts of capital Patna, hoisted the flag. During his speech, CM Nitish turned to Ram and asked him how old he is.

CM Nitish said, “You are only 69 years old? Then why do you look so tired? Look at me, I am 74 years old now. Advising Ramashish Ram to be physically active, he said, “You look at me. Considering the strength of my physical health, no one can make a fair estimate of my age.
Question about Nitish’s health
It is a strange coincidence that for the last several days, questions are being raised about Chief Minister Nitish’s health. The main opposition party in the state, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and critics such as strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor have been constantly questioning Nitish’s health in his public statements.
CM Nitish is claimed to lead a very disciplined life. There is no information that he is suffering from any serious illness. However, his sometimes erratic behavior and several incidents of slipping his tongue in public have given rise to speculation about his health. The opposition has taken aim at this.
