Today's developments show that Nitish Kumar has painted the state's politics in his colours, Prashant Kishor said.
In sharp remarks on the Bihar power shift, poll strategist Prashant Kishor has called Chief Minister Nitish Kumar "paltumaar" and said flip-flops have become a part of his politics. Mr Kishor, who now heads the Jan Suraj organisation that may back some candidates in the next Bihar election, did not spare the BJP either and said its leaders, who were criticising Mr Kumar days back, are now welcoming him. #WATCH | Begusarai: On On JDU Chief Nitish Kumar resigning as the CM of Bihar and JD(U)-BJP alliance, Prashant Kishor, Poll Strategist says, "I have been saying this since starting that Nitish Kumar can swap anytime.

'Paltumar' means someone who keeps shifting his stand. In the wake of five political flip-flops in a decade, Mr Kumar is being described as 'paltumar' or 'paltu kumar' by critics.
"I have been saying this since starting that Nitish Kumar can swap anytime. This has become a part of his politics. But today's developments have shown that all parties and leaders in Bihar are 'paltumaars'. It is now proved that (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi, (Home Minister) Amit Shah and the BJP are also 'paltumaars'," Mr Kishor said in a press meet, a video of which has been shared by ANI.
