Prashant Kishor Hints His 3,500 Km Bihar Padyatra Being 'Funded' By Six Chief Ministers

ABP News  

New Delhi: Political strategist-turned-activist Prashant Kishor, in a cryptic disclosure on his ongoing 'Jan Suraaj campaign' in Bihar, on Thursday hinted that the drive is being funded by the chief ministers of six states who used to be his clients before chairing the top post. Prashant Kishor, who hails from Buxar district of Bihar, now claims to have given up his professional political consultancy and devoted himself to transforming his home state through mass mobilisation. JD national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan, whose party hired Kishor's services long back, recently expressed his apprehensions that the IPAC founder might be getting funds from the BJP, that lost power in Bihar after Nitish Kumar’s exit from the NDA. His other former clients include Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Tamil Nadu’s MK Stalin and Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan Mohan Reddy, besides Amarinder Singh, whom he had helped win Punjab for the Congress.
