In a swipe at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the Jan Suraaj chief recalled that Kumar himself had once said that if allegations were made against any of his party’s leaders, they should explain and resign.
“But Nitish Kumar is no longer able to control the state’s administration. Nitish Kumar may not be a bad person, but leaders and officers around him are looting. If Nitish is not a thief, then who is stealing?” Kishor said on the interview to NDTV.
He alleged that Kumar had been compromised with corruption and crime, citing the murder charges against leaders like Samrat Chaudhary and Dilip Jaiswal, whom he described as the current faces of power.
Taking aim at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who is campaigning aggressively in Bihar, Kishor said the AIMIM practices religious politics and that Jan Suraaj would maintain a distance from it.
