Nitish Kumar’s alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is supposed to be short-lived, according to political strategist Prashant Kishor, and it won’t last for very long beyond the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
On Sunday, political strategist Prashant Kishor made some strong statements against Nitish Kumar, his political mentor turned bete noire. These comments came at a time when Bihar is on the verge of witnessing a new administration, with Nitish Kumar becoming the chief minister this time with the assistance of the BJP.
According to Prashant Kishor, Nitish Kumar is a cunning individual who has been deceiving the people of Bihar. Kishor also stated that Nitish Kumar’s coalition with the BJP will not continue till the next assembly election in Bihar, which is scheduled to take place in 2025. Additionally, regardless of whether Nitish Kumar runs for the next state election with the BJP or the RJD (in the event that he makes another switch after the Lok Sabha election), his party will not be able to win more than twenty seats under any circumstances.
In the event that Nitish Kumar is successful in winning more than twenty seats in the upcoming Assembly election, I shall quit from my current position. If you could, please jot it down,” Prashant Kishor said. As an additional point of interest, Prashant Kishor stated that the people of Bihar will repay Nitish Kumar.
When it comes to the current situation in Bihar, there are two sides. Nitish Kumar, who is supported by the BJP, is the face of the party, on the one hand. The RJD and the other parties are on the other side of the spectrum. According to this formation, the elections for the Bihar assembly would not take place. There are going to be a lot of significant events that will take place before the next election in Bihar. It is expected that those events will take place during the next six months following the Lok Sabha election, according to Prashant Kishor, who predicted that the BJP-Nitish Kumar alliance has a chance to survive till then.
“I am the only person who has been stating that Nitish Kumar can flip at any time, and if you follow my statements over the past year, you will discover that I am the only person who has been saying that. However, it has been demonstrated today that Narendra Modi and Amit Shah are also capable of competing for the’palturam’ label,” PK stated.
‘When I said Nitish Kumar won’t stick to Maha gathbandhan’: Prashant Kishor
In reference to his earlier prediction, Prashant Kishor stated that Nitish Kumar will not continue with the Mahagathbandhan, and even if he did, he would not even secure five seats in the Lok Sabha election.
“After hearing my forecast, they fled Mahgathbandhan because they were feeling afraid. Kishor made a statement that hinted at the possibility of the RJD gaining a majority in the election that would take place in Bihar in 2025. “My next prediction is that Nitish Kumar’s party will not get more than 20 seats in the state election,” Kishor added.
