Poll strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor has once again criticized Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, labeling him as ‘mentally unfit’ and suggesting that the BJP has forced him upon the 130 million residents of Bihar. Kishor reiterated his concerns regarding Kumar’s mental stability, claiming that regardless of the outcome of the upcoming Assembly elections, Kumar will not reclaim the Chief Minister’s position due to his physical exhaustion and mental instability.
As the chief of the Jan Suraaj Party (JSP), Kishor asserted that Kumar is so mentally compromised that he struggles to recall the names of his Cabinet ministers. Drawing from his experience leading the BJP’s campaign in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Kishor contended that both Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah must be aware of Kumar’s mental state, suggesting their decision to support him is motivated purely by political gain.
