Patna, Sep 2 (NationPress) Political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor intensified his criticism of prominent political figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav.
These remarks were made during his address at the Bihar Badlaav Jan Sabha held at the Sri Krishna Singh Memorial Stadium in Jamui district as part of his ongoing Bihar Badlaav Yatra.
After the rally, Kishor responded to media inquiries, downplaying the current controversy surrounding alleged derogatory comments made during the Mahagathbandhan rally and the resulting criticisms from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav will hurl insults at PM Modi. When PM Modi addresses the crowd, he retaliates with insults aimed at Rahul Gandhi and Lalu Yadav. Yet, none of them discuss pressing issues like when unemployment will be eradicated in Bihar, when children will have access to quality education, or when out-migration will cease. The residents of Bihar are indifferent to who insults whom," stated the Jan Suraaj leader.
Prashant Kishor redirected attention to what he termed the "real abuse" that ordinary citizens endure.
"Children from Bihar face abuse nationwide. They are ridiculed and disrespected for their Bihari identity. This time, the people of Bihar will focus on the humiliation their children face instead of the political leaders' verbal exchanges," he asserted.
Kishor also took a jab at Tejashwi Yadav regarding a viral video depicting him dancing with youth at Patna's Marine Drive.
"While the people of Raghopur are grappling with floods, their MLA Tejashwi Yadav appears to be enjoying himself at night on Patna's JP Ganga Path. This behavior reveals his true priorities regarding the people of Bihar," he remarked.
Furthermore, Kishor accused Yadav of mirroring his own stance on migration and employment.
"If Tejashwi Yadav had genuinely pursued education, he wouldn't need to imitate my agenda today. Nevertheless, I'm pleased that he is at least mimicking the right things. Previously, they only engaged in Hindu-Muslim politics. They are leaders associated with violence, kidnappings, and extortion. Thanks to the influence of Jan Suraaj, they are now compelled to address migration, education, employment, and industrial development," he stated.
