Election strategist Prashant Kishor has arrived on a two-day visit to Patna amid all the speculation. In Patna, Prashant Kishor (PK) will meet Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and will also meet some prominent leaders of other parties. It is believed that Prashant Kishor can also make some big announcement regarding his future move from Patna because today is May 2 and he had said last year that he will make a new announcement after one year of Bengal results.
The relations between the BJP and JDU have become quite tense after differences over several issues over the past few weeks. Kishor had earlier worked for the JD(U) in the 2015 state assembly elections and during that time an alliance between RJD and JDU was formed in Bihar and the Grand Alliance government was formed in Bihar.
Prashant Kishor will meet Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in Patna and there will be a churn between the two leaders about the future politics. Even the state is eagerly waiting for Nitish’s next political move. This is Prashant Kishor’s first visit to Bihar after the West Bengal elections. Nitish Kumar will be the Presidential candidate from the Grand Alliance or the Vice Presidential candidate from the BJP, this decision can also be taken in this meeting.
After the results of the assembly elections of five states, there were several rounds of talks between the Congress and Prashant Kishor, but these talks were in vain as Prashant Kishor did not agree to the Congress’s offer and turned it down. With this, the possibility of PK joining the Congress also ended. Prashant Kishor had said during the Bengal elections itself that he would leave I-PAC after the election results.
At the same time, there are speculations that Prashant Kishor may announce the launch of his Political Front today from his home state Bihar. It is believed that he can also discuss this with like-minded political leaders and parties in Patna. This morning’s tweet by Prashant Kishor is adding to these speculations. PK tweeted on Monday morning, writing, “My quest to be a meaningful participant in democracy and help shape pro-people policy has led to a rollercoaster ride of 10 years. Now as I open a new page, it is time to reach out to the people to better understand the issues and the path of public suraj – good governance of the people. Beginning with Bihar.
