Rishta purana hai: Nitish Kumar after meeting Prashant Kishor
India Today
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, who on Friday met his former JDU colleague Prashant Kishor, said there was no meaning to the meeting.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who on Friday met his former Janata Dal United colleague and political strategist Prashant Kishor, said that there was no meaning to the meeting and his relations with Kishor are old.
Speaking to mediapersons on Saturday, Nitish Kumar said, "My relationship with Prashant Kishor is old and not from today. There is no special meaning behind the meeting."
On Friday, Nitish Kumar and Prashant Kishor met after a long time. In 2015, Prashant Kishor helped the JDU-Congress-RJD alliance to win the Bihar Assembly election, defeating the BJP-led NDA.
In 2018, Prashant Kishor joined the Nitish Kumar-led JDU and was made the party's vice-president. However, he soon decided to quit the JDU over the party's support to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Parliament.
Recently, Prashant Kishor's political consultancy group I-PAC, which was working with the Trinamool Congress since last year's West Bengal Assembly polls, pulled out of Bengal amid allegations of increasing interference in the party.
