Why Nitish Kumar forged alliance with Tejashwi Yadav: Prashant Kishor reveals

Live Mint  

Political Analyst Prashant Kishor on Friday took a dig at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and revealed that he had told the latter about the alliance with Rashtriya Janata Dal in March 2022. "Nitish Kumar chose Tejashwi Yadav because he knows after 2025 he won't be the Chief Minister and want the condition of Bihar to turn worse as then people would think Nitish Kumar was better and then choose him again. Nitish Kumar is of the ideology that if Yadav comes to power and Lalu Yadav's jungle raj returns in the state, people would want Kumar to come back and think that he has been better, Prashant Kishor stressed. In 2020, the BJP-JD fought election in an alliance and went on to form the government with Nitish Kumar being given the Chief Minister's post.
