Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor alleged on Saturday that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is relinquishing his post due to pressure from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which Kishor claims secured a “manufactured mandate” for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in last year’s assembly polls.
Nitish Kumar’s Departure
Kishor, speaking to reporters, reiterated his assertion that Kumar is “physically and mentally unfit” to govern the state.
“I cannot say whether Nitish Kumar is leaving of his own accord or whether he is acting under pressure,” Kishor said. “But, in a way, I stand vindicated. I was being pilloried ahead of the assembly polls when I had predicted that even if the NDA wins, he will not be made the Chief Minister.”
The 47-year-old former JD(U) vice president added, “My prediction that the NDA could lose may have been off the mark. But about Nitish Kumar, who is visibly unfit, physically and mentally, I have been proven right. Why else would a Chief Minister step down barely a few months after his coalition got a brute majority in the Assembly?”
