Patna (Bihar) [India], September 30 : Calling Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar the capital of JD(U), Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Monday claimed that Nitish Kumar has handed over the entire system to his "advisors" instead of his MLAs, ministers and workers, adding that JD(U) has "no future."
"When JD(U) won't even remain, what is the question about his successor? I had been a part of JD(U) and worked with Nitish Kumar. The capital of JD(U) is Nitish Kumar. When capital would end, how would the company run on interest? It won't continue. The party has no future. As far as advisors is concerned, ask anyone in Bihar, and they will say that there is 'jungle raj' of officers. How did this happen?...In the past few years, instead of his MLAs, ministers and workers, Nitish Kumar has handed over the entire system to 2-4 of his advisors. I wish him good health, but people say that he is not very active as far as his physical and mental conditions are concerned. So, his advisors are running everything. They are people who are not answerable to anyone because they are retired officers," Prashant Kishor said on Bihar CM.
On his attacks on RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and party leader Tejashwi Yadav, Jan Suraaj founder said that Tejashwi Yadav has "no identity" besides being the son of Lalu Yadav.
"What credibility have they established, that I am trying to question? I said that he (Tejashwi Yadav) has no identity besides being the son of Lalu Yadav...I said that he is a Class 9 fail. This is true...A lot of people say that even less educated people are intelligent. Yes, definitely. But if you are not educated, tell us what your contribution to society is...Capability has no direct connection to education...But if you don't clear class 9 despite being the son of a CM, it shows your mindset towards education. People of the state should understand that someone who thinks that he doesn't need to study, what will he do for the education system of the state," Kishor said.
The Assembly elections in Bihar are likely to be held in October-November 2025.
