Prashant Kishor attacks Bihar CM and JDU leadership

Prashant Kishor, founder of the Jan Suraaj Party and MLA for Bankipur, has launched a series of political attacks against Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and the Janata Dal (United) (JDU).

Responding to Choudhary’s recent description of him as ‘bechara’ (helpless) during a podcast, Kishor stated he is indeed ‘bechara’ because he has no choice but to fight to improve Bihar. Kishor argued that he cannot leave the state in the hands of what he termed an ‘uneducated and criminal’ leader.

Kishor also targeted the JDU, alleging that the party is controlled by Amit Shah rather than Nitish Kumar. He claimed that regardless of any potential name changes for the party, it functions under Shah’s direction with ‘two puppets’ at the helm. Kishor is currently engaging with party workers regarding upcoming Legislative Council elections and conducting surveys for candidate selection.
