Personal interest is only motive of smaller parties of Bihar, says Prashant Kishor

Poll strategist and convener of Jan Suraj Prashant Kishor on Tuesday targeted the small political parties of Bihar which are likely to play an important role for the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. He made a veiled attack alleging they always have a personal interest in mind rather than making any difference in the polls.

The statement came on the day when the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and Opposition convened their respective meetings to take on each other in the next general election. The NDA held meetings with 38 political parties in Delhi, whereas 26 political parties took part in Opposition meetings at Bengaluru to garner support. 

Mr. Kishor claimed that parties of Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha always kept their personal interest of gaining a seat or two in mind. Kishor stressed that whoever will give seats to smaller parties they will go with them.
