Nitish shameless, stabbed Muslims in the back: Prashant Kishor

PTI Ramgarh: Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Sunday launched a stinging attack on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, calling him “shameless” and accusing him of “backstabbing” Muslims by aligning with BJP. The former political analyst, who was once a close aide of Kumar, was responding to queries about the JD(U) supremo’s attempts to reach out to the minority community during campaign for by-polls to four assembly seats.

“Yes, indeed Nitish Kumar has done a lot for Musl ims by stabbing them in the back (peeth mein chhura bhonkne ka kaam kiya). He formed a government in 2015 with Muslims’ overwhelming support and realigned with BJP two years later”, said Kishor. The former JD(U) national vice president, who got expelled on account of a public spat with Kumar over CAA, also charged with “supporting a legislaion to disenfranchise Muslims”.
