Prashant kishor: Bihar assembly elections are going to be held at the end of 2025 and political activities have intensified. NDA, Grand Alliance and other regional parties have started handling the election front. Meanwhile, an important meeting of the NDA alliance was held in the capital Delhi, in which the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of about 18 to 20 states attended the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
While this meeting was on the one hand to strengthen the functioning of NDA governments across the country, on the other hand, Bihar politics has brought a new turn. Prashant Kishore, the founder of Jansuraj, has given a big statement. He directly attacked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and claimed that Nitish Kumar is not physically and mentally fit.
Nitish Kumar’s Silence Minister- Prashant Kishore
Prashant Kishore raised this question about the absence of Nitish Kumar in the NITI Aayog meeting. He said that Nitish Kumar’s condition is not good, so he did not go to the meeting of NITI Aayog because there would have been the Chief Minister of the country, the media would have to say something. He further said that Nitish Kumar is kept hiding his officer and some “smooth minister” so that his condition is not revealed to anyone.
What was the story of NDA meeting and NITI Aayog meeting?
In this meeting of NDA held in Delhi, big leaders like Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP President JP Nadda were present. Its purpose was to increase harmony between the NDA governments of the states and to discuss the developmental agenda. On the other hand, NITI Aayog meeting was a formal platform, where representatives of state governments get an opportunity to speak on the overall development of the country. In this meeting, not only the opposition on the absence of Nitish Kumar, now leaders associated with NDA are also raising questions.
Prashant Kishore’s argument
Prashant Kishore questioned Nitish Kumar on health. He said that if an ordinary citizen has to give physical test to become a soldier, then why not the Chief Minister of Bihar? Giving many examples, he described Nitish Kumar’s recent activities as unusual behavior, such as catching a woman on stage or singing songs in condolences. He considered it a sign of mental imbalance.
Electoral strategy or political etiquette?
The time and attitude of Prashant Kishore’s statement indicate that this statement can be not just a criticism, but a part of the electoral strategy. He has given similar statements against Nitish Kumar before, but this time he kept it more clearly and intense. He claims that the BJP wants to maintain Nitish Kumar due to the support of only 12 MPs, he has no meaning with the public and development.
