Rubbishing Prashant Kishor's claim of having turned down an "offer" from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the party's de facto leader, Lalan asserted that the poll campaign manager was "not a political worker but a businessman".
Janata Dal (United) president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan on Saturday alleged that political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor was "working for" the BJP, as part of its "conspiracies" to find a firm foothold in Bihar.
Rubbishing Prashant Kishor's claim of having turned down an "offer" from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the party's de facto leader, Lalan asserted that the poll campaign manager was "not a political worker but a businessman" who relied on "marketing" tactics.
"We know Prashant Kishor has been working for the BJP for some time. One agent of the BJP was recently caught during magistrate checking," remarked the JD(U) chief, in an obvious reference to former national president RCP Singh.
"The BJP is relying on conspiracies in Bihar. First it used RCP Singh and now it is using Prashant Kishor. But we are vigilant. We will not allow these designs to succeed," Lalan said.
