Prashant Kishor starts campaign in Bihar, targets Nitish Kumar

Live Mint  

Ahead of the crucial assembly elections scheduled for October-November, expelled Janata Dal vice president Prashant Kishor on Tuesday launched the “Bihar ki Baat” campaign to bring together one million people on board over the next 100 days. Conceding it was JD chief Nitish Kumar’s prerogative to remove him from the party post, the political strategist accused the Bihar chief minister of making ideological compromises with the Bharatiya Janata Party to remain in power. Speaking to the media in Patna on Tuesday for the first time since his removal from the JD on 29 January, Kishor said Bihar needs a leader who does not shy away from expressing his views and is not dependant on others’ decisions. Kishor, who belongs to Bihar, had worked actively for Kumar’s election campaign in 2015 and was later brought on board to implement the state government’s policy initiatives.
