Prashant Kishor is young, speaks for publicity: Bihar CM Nitish

Patna, Oct 21: Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Friday, while responding to Prashant Kishor's remark that he's in touch with BJP, said that he is young and speaks for his own publicity, and the JDU-RJD alliance did not care about what he said.

News agency ANI quoted Nitish Kumar as saying, " He speaks for his own publicity & can speak whatever he wants, we don't care. He's young. There was a time when I respected him...those whom I respected had disrespected me."

CM Nitish Kumar reactions come after one day when poll strategist Prashant Kishor alleged in a video that Nitish Kumar is surely with Mahagathbandhan but hasn't closed his channels with BJP.

"As far as I know, Nitish Kumar is surely with Mahagathbandhan but hasn't closed his channels with BJP, biggest proof is that RS Dy Chairman-JDU MP Harivansh neither resigned from his post nor party asked him to do so: P Kishor," ANI quoted Prashant Kishor as saying.

Prashant Kishor also said, "if he (Nitish Kumar) has come out of the alliance, why one of his MPs is still holding an important position in Rajya Sabha. So as far as I know, Nitish Kumar has not closed his channels with BJP."
