Prashant Kishore, the draftsman of the RJD-JD(U)- Congress Mahagatbandhan, is occupied in south India. The alliance he nearly sustained came disintegrating down in a matter of hours on Wednesday night. Bihar CM Nitish Kumar surrendered from his post and afterward held hands with BJP to be sworn into a similar office once more.
Divested from cabinet rank of the CM’s consultant
- This improvement has divested of him of the cabinet rank of the Chief Minister’s consultant in Bihar.
- While, Kishore stayed mum on the sensational unforeseen development, sources say that
- he phoned his one-time mentor Nitish Kumar to wish him luck.
- Furthermore the discussion was brief, however not terse.
- “Kumar told him that he had no choice and it was getting impossible to work with the RJD,” a close confidante of Kishore said.
- It was the final good bye, as Kishore made it clear that the association with Nitish has achieved a final turning point.
- Bihar victory was Kishore’s riposte to BJP President Amit Shah,
- who had broadly humiliated him after BJP’s astounding victory of 2014.
- Kishore was credited for bringing the two different pioneers Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar together.
- He resolved the distinctions, keeping the correspondence lines between the two free of misinterpretations.
Currently in Tamil Nadu
- Kishore is in Tamil Nadu, holding discussions with DMK.
- It is too early to say if Kishore will work formally captain
- DMK’s campaign in the next Assembly or Lok Sabha elections.
- As per those near Prahasnt Kishore, he is a dejected man.
- “He was really disappointed in Nitish Kumar for handing over a hard-earned victory to BJP.
- Nitish could have been a potential contender to 2019 Lok Sabha Polls,” Kishore’s confidante told.
- In the meantime, Kishore censures Congress for the drop out.
- “The Congress, he said is occupying the opposition space, without actually playing the role,” Kishore’s aide said.
Bihar Vikas Mission
- Kishore held a cabinet rank position as advisor to Chief Minister on policy and programme implementation.
- Bihar Vikas Mission, a special purpose vehicle, was a brainchild of Kishore’s.
- For the last year, present Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Sushil Modi,
- has been rallying against Kishore and the Mission, calling it a waste of state’s resources.
