Prashant Kishor, Jan Suraaj Party Chief, criticized Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the BJP for the state's poor economic and social indicators. Kishor challenged Kumar to release NITI Aayog reports to refute the claims.

Kishor, who previously worked as a close aide to Kumar, made the remarks while addressing questions about the JD(U) leader’s efforts to reach out to the minority community

Nitish Kumar is a shameless man (nirlajj aadmi) hai with whom the people of Bihar are disgusted and want to oust from power”, claimed the Jan Suraaj founder
