Who is PK working for?

Election strategist Prashant Kishor does not know whether he has read Srilal Shukla’s classic novel ‘Raag Darbari’ or not! There is an election issue in it. A Babaji reaches the village where the pradhan is to be elected. They sing, start unbroken kirtan, a gathering of ganja-bhang gathers and they tell in gestures who God has chosen as the head of that village. Before getting intoxicated, it settles in the heart and mind of people that whom God has chosen for them. And thus the candidate of Babaji’s choice wins the election. This method of winning elections was accepted as the Nevadawali method and people in different areas tried it effectively in their own way.

Prashant Kishor is working in Bihar with this Nevadaist method. The difference is that instead of gestures, they are openly telling the people of Bihar who are the two people, because of which Bihar has been ruined and they do not have to choose further. They are running the Suraj campaign and doing padyatra in Bihar. They are also singing their own bhajans and kirtans and they are telling the people that in the last 30-35 years, Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar have ruined Bihar. They are attacking the BJP somewhere but BJP is on their target as much as salt in pulses.

They are carefully hiding the fact that if Bihar was ruined because of Nitish Kumar, the BJP was also with him for three-fourths of the time. Except for four years from 2013 to 2017, the BJP has been his ally for 13 years in Nitish Kumar’s tenure of 17 years from 2005 to 2022. He has been the Deputy Chief Minister of BJP for 13 years and important ministries have been handled by BJP leaders. But the effect of Prashant Kishor’s campaign is that the BJP is getting rid of the responsibility of those 13 years or it is being veiled.

It is sitting in the minds of the people that Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar are responsible for the situation in which Bihar is in. Although how much this propaganda will be useful in caste-divided Bihar, but there is no doubt that in the youth of Bihar or those who are outside, it is sitting in the mind that only two parties have ruled for the last three and a half decades. And only two faces are responsible for the plight of Bihar. So, Prashant Kishor may be working for himself or for the betterment of Bihar, but BJP is becoming the beneficiary of his campaign. Then JDU national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh said that Prashant Kishor is working for the BJP.
