Prashant Kishor Comments on Nitish Kumar and Bihar Politics at Manthan 2025

At the Manthan 2025 event, Prashant Kishor stated that his Jan Suraaj Party aims to secure 30% of Tejashwi Yadav’s vote share in the upcoming Bihar elections. He also remarked on the apprehension within the NDA. Kishor criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, saying that Kumar, who was once sensitive, no longer exhibits that trait. He cited the Chapra incident, where the Chief Minister was seen laughing after people had died, contrasting it with the support Kumar garnered in 2015 due to his sensitivity. Manthan 2025 brings together leading figures from Bihar politics to discuss their party’s plans and vision for the state’s future. The event included speakers such as Pappu Yadav, Dipankar Bhattacharya, and Kanhaiya Kumar. Evening panels featured Tejashwi Yadav and Samrat Choudhary.
