Prashant Kishor, targets Bihar's health minister says, "Don't forget your hardships" during Covid-19

Saran (Bihar) [India], May 22 (ANI): Jan Suraj Party founder Prashant Kishor launched a scathing attack against Bihar's political leadership, criticising Health Minister Mangal Pandey and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over misgovernance and neglect of farmers' issues.
Speaking to the media after addressing a public gathering, Kishor questioned Mangal Pandey's role during the COVID-19 crisis.
"Mangal Pandey was the Health Minister during Covid. Lakhs of people returned to Bihar on foot... Don't forget what hardships you and your family had to go through," he said, invoking painful memories of the migrant crisis during the pandemic in 2020.
Kishor also lashed out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's long tenure, saying his government had failed to ensure fair prices for farmers despite being in power for two decades.

"Nitish Kumar has been the Chief Minister for 20 years... Paddy was sold at Rs 1500 to Rs 1900 per quintal, and now the government is about to go in the next four months, so they are talking about Rabi and Kharif. People want the right price for grains," he remarked.
A day ago, Kishor said that he had made efforts to get ten Chief Ministers elected, and today, he is not doing any hard work to become a CM but to fulfil his own dream. He further asserted that if people from Punjab and Haryana come to work in Bihar, he would consider the state "developed."
"Some people are saying that I want to become the CM. But you do not know me. I have made efforts in making 10 CMs. Today, I am not doing this hard work to become a CM but to fulfil my dream. I have a dream to achieve, I will consider that Bihar is developed when people from Haryana and Punjab will come to Bihar for employment", Prashant Kishor said while addressing a gathering in Saran.
Before this, in a series of political developments in Bihar ahead of Assembly polls, scheduled to be held later this year, former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Uday Singh, alias Pappu Singh, was elected as the national president of the Jan Suraaj Party. (ANI)
