New Delhi, Jan 21: Political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor described Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s ‘Samadhan Yatra’ as an ‘attempt to befool people’ and claimed that presiding over meetings of ‘favourite ministers and bureaucrats’ at such programmes would not address the issues that the general public faced.
Speaking with reporters at Barauli in the Gopalganj district on Friday, Kishor asserted that although the JD(U) leader had previously taken multiple yatras, nothing had improved in the state as a result.
“This Samadhan yatra is his 14th yatra, but nothing has changed in the state. This yatra is just an attempt to befool people. Chairing meetings with his favourite ministers and bureaucrats during a yatra will not solve people’s problems,” he said.
According to him, the ‘Samadhan Yatra’ of the JD(U) is aimed at assessing the status of ongoing welfare programmes and the pending works in the state.
Prashant Kishor also criticised the Chief Minister for skipping the Congress’ ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra.’
“Leaders of other political parties are attending the Congress Yatra in different parts of the country, but Kumar refused to take part. Despite the fact that Congress is a partner in the ‘Mahagathbandhan’ government in Bihar, Kumar did not participate. This has exposed him; his talk of opposition unity is a farce,” he added.
