Voting slogans prash Prashant Kishor’s statement that “Bihar today is the poorest and worst in the world” drew a strong reaction from RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. “Prashant Kishor’s speech makes no sense. I don’t know where you are? He has never been involved in anything so far,”the 32-year-old leader said. His comments come days after Kishor, at a press conference earlier this week, said that although Bihar leaders – Prime Minister Nitish Kumar and former CM Lalu Prasad Yadav (Tejashwi Yadav’s father) – had served the country for the past 30 years.
On Friday, the 45-year-old leader tweeted: “Nitishji is right – the key lies in the truth. And the fact is that even after 30 years of Lalu-Nitish rule, Bihar today is the poorest and most orderly state of the world. It is necessary to think of a new effort to transform Bihar and that can only be achieved through the collective effort of its people.
KISHOR
Kishor was speaking these words about his country as he prepared to embark on what he called a “new journey”. Known for strategies to help win big votes over the past decade or so, including the BJP in the 2014 general election, Kishore this week announced a 3,000 km march to understand public sentiment. “I plan to travel 3,000 km in a year. I will travel to all parts of the region and meet many people, trying to learn from their grievances and aspirations,”he told a news conference on Thursday. Calling his party “Jan Suraj”, Kishor did not rule out the possibility of a party.
But his criticism of the government’s administration over the past three decades has also met with opposition from the prime minister. “I don’t consider it necessary to comment on such fabrications. It is up to you journalists to decide if my bosses have achieved what I expected or not. People also know what we have done in the last 15 years,”Kumar said in a statement from a former colleague.
Kishor was expelled from JDU in 2020 amid his strong opposition to the citizenship law, which he described as “anti-minority” by critics.
With the CAA focused after Amit Shah recently referred to it, Nitish Kumar on Friday said: “This is an institutional policy decision that we will look at separately. Right now, our main concern is that Covid-19 cases are on the rise and protecting people from new attacks is a priority for us.”
