Kishanganj, April 1, 2025 – Political strategist-turned-leader Prashant Kishor has launched a blistering attack on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, claiming that the real power in the state rests with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and his selected officers.
Speaking to the media in Kishanganj, the Jan Suraj Party chief asserted that Nitish Kumar is no longer capable of governing Bihar effectively.
“Nitish Kumar is Just a Mask”
Kishor alleged that Nitish Kumar is physically exhausted and mentally unwell, unable to lead the state.
“Nitish Kumar’s credibility has collapsed in the last few years. He is not in a position to run the government. The BJP has placed him over 13 crore people of Bihar, but in reality, the state is being run by Amit Shah and his chosen officers,” he claimed.
Opposition to the Waqf Amendment Bill
Kishor also voiced strong opposition to the Waqf Amendment Bill, arguing that passing it without consulting the Muslim community would be unjust.
“Any interference in the constitutional rights of minorities is unacceptable. If JDU MPs vote against the Waqf bill, it won’t pass. If they don’t, they should stop calling themselves followers of Gandhi and Lohia,” he said.
Public Appearances Fuel Speculation
Kishor’s remarks come amid growing political instability in Bihar. His criticism also coincides with Nitish Kumar’s recent unusual public behavior, including incidents during the national anthem at government events, sparking further questions about his leadership and governance.
2025 Bihar Assembly Elections Looming
With the Bihar Assembly elections approaching, Kishor’s sharp criticism is expected to fuel intense political debate on Nitish Kumar’s leadership and the BJP’s influence in the state’s administration. His statements may also impact the opposition’s strategy ahead of the crucial polls.
