Prashant Kishor set for padyatra across Bihar; says no political party for now
Deccan ChroniclePatna: Ace poll strategist Prashant Kishor on Thursday put paid to speculations of him floating a new political platform stating that he is set to embark on a 3000 km 'padyatra' that will start from Mahatma Gandhi's ashram in Bihar's Champaran on October 2. He added: "If we will decide in future that we need to make a political party then it won't be Prashant Kishor's party. "If a large number of people come together on one platform, and collectively decide on the need for a political party, then the announcement of that party would be made. Hitting out at Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance and Lalu Prasad Yadav led RJD for their respective tenures as chief ministers, Kishor said that it is an undeniable truth that "Bihar is the most backward and poorest state" of the country. "Those who are connected to this land and understand the issues pertaining to this state and have the capability to solve the problems and who want to change Bihar, most of such people need to come together and make a new effort," Kishor added calling upon the people to join him in his campaign.
