This special report highlights the growing political confrontation in Bihar between Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor and the BJP ahead of the assembly elections. Kishor claims that the BJP, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, is using intimidation and pressure to force his party’s candidates to step aside.
Prashant Kishor accuse BJP for looting candidates
“For the first time in Bihar, the candidates looted,” Kishor said, noting that three of his candidates pushed out just before the first phase of polling. The BJP has strongly denied these allegations. Leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy responded by suggesting that Kishor should run in the elections himself to grasp the situation better. The controversy arises as reports indicate that Amit Shah has been holding meetings to calm rebellious members within the BJP and prevent vote splits.
