NDTV
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has confirmed the dinner meet with Prashant Kishor in Delhi
At a time his future with Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress is the subject of fierce speculation, political strategist Prashant Kishor dined with his former boss Nitish Kumar on Friday evening.
The two, meeting for the first time since Nitish Kumar sacked Prashant Kishor as his party's number two in 2020, were reportedly closeted for two hours at the Bihar Chief Minister's official home in Delhi.
Nitish Kumar confirmed the dinner meet to reporters in Delhi but said he has old ties with Prashant Kishor and not much should be read into the meeting.
Mr Kishor, or PK, told NDTV it was a "courtesy visit" stemming from a casual chat. When Nitish Kumar caught an Omicron infection, he explained, he had phoned him to ask after his health. Nitish Kumar had then expressed his desire to meet, and this materialised yesterday, he said.
