Days after ex-aide Prashant Kishor met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, latter's party is not pleased with "marketing" tactics via media leaks
"It's all marketing for his business" is how Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JDU sees claims by poll strategist Prashant Kishor that he had an offer to rejoin the party. "We know he's been working for the BJP for some time now," JDU national chief Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan said today, speaking just days after a meeting between Nitish Kumar and Prashant Kishor.
"He plants stories in the media. All this is part of a conspiracy that the BJP wants to use for a foothold in Bihar, as it can't get public support," Mr Singh claimed.
Ever since Nitish Kumar dumped the BJP last month and started a national Opposition unity drive, the buzz in Patna and Delhi is that 'PK', expelled in 2020, might be back with JDU in some capacity.
"It was Prashant Kishor who wanted to meet Nitish ji after the new political situation emerged in Bihar," said the JDU president today. "Nitish ji told him to first have a word with the party president. So he came to meet me in New Delhi."
