Prashant Kishor Blasts Nitish Kumar Amid Rising Tensions in Bihar

Prashant Kishor, founder of Jan Suraaj, has issued a scathing critique of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar following a surge in shooting incidents across the state, notably near Tejashwi Yadav's residence in Patna. Kishor expressed concern over the worsening law and order situation, stating that Kumar's perceived physical and mental unfitness hampers his governance.

Amidst the escalating unrest, Tejashwi Yadav also condemned the Nitish Kumar-led state government, highlighting incidents of violence as a growing norm in Bihar. Kishor further accused Kumar of losing command over administrative operations, citing frequent law and order incidents as evidence of this decline.

Additionally, Kishor challenged the credibility of the RJD in handling these issues, dismissing Tejashwi Yadav's jibes and labeling the criticism hypocritical, given the RJD's legacy in Bihar's politics. He referenced a survey indicating that a small number of families have dominated elected positions in the state, underscoring the systemic nature of political dynasties.
