“The leader of a State is the pride of its people. But Nitish Kumar brought shame to Bihar when he touched the feet of Modi,” Prashant Kishore the poll strategist alleged, referring to the NDA meeting in Delhi last week.
Kumar’s JD (U) won 12 seats in Lok Sabha polls to emerge as the second largest ally of the BJP, which failed to get a majority on its own.
“There is so much talk about Nitish Kumar playing a key role in Modi’s return to power. But how is the Bihar CM leveraging his position?
He is not using his clout to ensure benefits for the state. He is touching feet to ensure that he remains in power, with BJP support, even after the 2025 Assembly polls,” Kishor said.
Notably, Kishor had first shot into fame in 2014 for handling the spectacularly successful Lok Sabha poll campaign of Modi.
