Prashant Kishor denies relationship thaw with Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary
The Jan Suraaj founder stated that a recent meeting between the two leaders was merely a matter of social and political courtesy.
Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Friday denied speculations that his relationship with Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has improved. According to the Times of India, the clarification came a day after the two leaders met at the funeral ceremony of the late BJP leader RK Sinha.
Kishor explained that the meeting was a social and political courtesy held during a shradh ceremony. He stated that meeting the Chief Minister would not change his previous criticisms regarding Choudhary's educational background.
Kishor said that if he had previously labelled the Chief Minister a criminal, he would not suddenly describe him as a sage. He added that his democratic fight is for the betterment of Bihar rather than being directed against any specific individual, caste, or political party.
The Jan Suraaj founder has been a critic of Choudhary, frequently questioning his educational qualifications and alleged criminal history. Since the Bihar assembly polls last year, Kishor has referred to the Chief Minister as having only a seventh-grade education.
