Prashant Kishor Predicts Nitish Kumar Will Switch Sides Again After Lok Sabha Elections 2024

Prashant Kishor, a poll strategist turned politician who is looking forward to float his own party to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections in Bihar, made sharp remarks on Nitish Kumar after JDU parted ways with Lalu Yadav's RJD and joined hands with the BJP to form a new government. Prashant Kishor, who was once vice-president of Janata Dal-United, called Chief Minister Nitish Kumar "paltumaar."

Paltumaar means the person who can make a U-turn anytime.

According to the reports, Prashant Kishor said flip-flop has become a part of Nitish Kumar's politics and predicted that he will again switch the sides after Lok Sabha elections 2024.

Prashant Kishor added that BJP and JDU leaders who were criticising each other a few days back, are now hugging and welcoming each other. They have no political character.

Addressing the media at a political gathering by Jan Suraaj, Prashant Kishor said "I have been saying this since starting that Nitish Kumar can swap anytime. This has become a part of his politics. But today's developments have shown that all parties and leaders in Bihar are paltumaars."

Prashant Kishor further added that the JDU-BJP alliance proves that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Home Minister Amit Shah are also paltumaars like Nitish Kumar.

"The formation that currently exists, in which Nitish Kumar is the face of the NDA and has the BJP's backing, won't exist until the (Bihar) assembly elections. I can give you this in writing," Kishor said.

Nitish Kumar today took oath as the chief minister of Bihar for the record 9th time and BJP's Vijay Kumar Sinha and Samrat Choudhary were sworn-in as his deputies.
