"Not Upset At Prashant Kishor," Says Nitish Kumar After Meeting

Nitish Kumar didn't reveal much about the meet-up, dismissing it as a "normal" conversation.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and poll strategist Prashant Kishor, his former deputy, have been exchanging sharp digs at each other for weeks. Last evening, the two met for 45 minutes, triggering speculation of a collaboration in the 2024 national election. Pawan Verma, a former leader of Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United, reportedly arranged the meeting and was also present.

Both Pawan Verma and Prashant Kishor had a bitter parting with Nitish Kumar two years ago.

Nitish Kumar didn't reveal much about the meet-up, dismissing it as a "normal" conversation.

"We met, so ask him about it. We didn't talk about anything special. Just normal things - nothing like we have to do this or that. What's the harm in meeting? We have known each other for long," the Bihar Chief Minister said, urging reporters to speak to Prashant Kishor or PK.
