Many poll wins, including Nitish Kumar’s, have been attributed to the 45-year-old electoral strategist’s I-PAC.
Friday saw Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, reject remarks made by Prashant Kishor, a former party member who has continued to criticise the leader of the Janata Dal (United). When he said that Nitish Kumar’s connections to the BJP are still strong, the poll strategist, who is now visiting the state, made a serious accusation.
Please, don’t inquire about him, I beg of you. I’ve stated that before. Now, anyone wants to say anything can. Nitish Kumar was seen grinning alongside the media as he told reporters, He keeps talking for the sake of his publicity.
Now he just rambles on whenever he feels like it. You all know who I am. How they have treated me in the past, anyone I have respected, he remarked.
The 45-year-old election strategist’s I-PAC has been credited with multiple electoral victories, including that of Nitish Kumar, the BJP in 2014, and Mamata Banerjee in Bengal, among many others. He criticises Nitish Kumar as he holds a number of public events across Bihar in an effort to win over more local voters.
Kishor told reporters on Wednesday that Nitish has maintained contact with the BJP through JD(U) MP and Rajya Sabha deputy chairperson Harivansh. ” Nitish Kumar should have asked Harivansh to resign after breaking with the BJP. “He (Harivansh) could have been expelled from the JD if he had continued in his position (U). Nitish, on the other hand, has made this arrangement in order to keep his options open in the future “Kishor stated this at a public meeting in West Bihar.future,” Kishor said at a public meeting in Bihar’s West Champaran district during his ‘padyatra’ campaign.
But it has sparked a lot of reactions. Bijendra Prasad Yadav, the energy minister for Bihar, reacted angrily by asking, Who is Prashant Kishore?
As evidence for his claim, Prashant Kishor claimed that JD(U) MP and Rajya Sabha deputy chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh had resigned from his position and that neither the party nor anyone else had taken any action against him.
My understanding is that Nitish Kumar still communicates with the BJP via Harivansh ji. If not, how can it be justified that even if you are no longer in an alliance, your MP is still in charge of the important position in the Rajya Sabha? He had spoken.
In the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, Nitish Kumar met with important opposition leaders after rejoining the Grand Alliance in Bihar.
After Prashant Kishor claims that relations with the BJP are still alive, Nitish Kumar claims that he is only saying this for publicity.
