Political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishore (PK) on Sunday claimed that JDU president Nitish Kumar’s newly formed alliance with BJP will disintegrate even before the 2025 assembly elections in Bihar.
Kishor also claimed that the BJP may have to pay a heavy price for re-aligning with Kumar as it (BJP) had announced that its doors were closed for Kumar.
“Nitish Kumar’s reversal is not a surprise,” Kishor told reporters in Begusarai district.
Prashant Kishore said that I was saying since his joining the Grand Alliance that he will not be in it. But today’s incident proves that if Nitish is Palturam then Narendra Modi and Amit Shah are also no different.
The BJP seems to have made a calculation in view of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. But he will have to pay a heavy price for it when assembly elections are held next year.
Kishor, who has worked as a political strategist for both PM Modi and the JDU supremo, said the BJP would find it difficult to explain to its voters why it supported Kumar when he had said the doors were closed for him.
He said, “I make another prediction and if I am proved wrong then you can catch me. The alliance that has been formed will not last till the assembly elections. “In fact it may break within a few months of the Lok Sabha elections.”
Kishor alleged, “BJP is now doing what Congress did during the time of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad. “Both national parties have formed alliances with highly unpopular regional leaders for small gains at the central level.” He claimed that his Janasuraj campaign is committed to end this “revolving door politics”.
Kumar resigned from the post of Chief Minister of the Grand Alliance and formed the new NDA government in the state, saying that the conditions did not look good between the Grand Alliance in Bihar and the ‘India’ alliance of national level opposition parties.
