Patna(Bihar): JDU leader Ajay Alok on Wednesday dubbed party vice president Prashant Kishor as 'Coronavirus', and added that the poll strategist is not a trustworthy man.
"This man is not trustworthy. He could not win the trust of Modi Ji and Nitish Ji. He works for AAP, talks to Rahul Gandhi, sits with Mamata didi. Who will trust him?" Alok told the media persons.
"We are happy this coronavirus is leaving us, he can go wherever he wants to," he said.

Alok lashed out at Kishor saying that he got recognization in 2014 due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after which he joined JDU. When asked about Kishor's contribution in the 2015 elections, Alok said that Prashant has not contributed anything during the polls. Nobody can win elections on the basis of hoardings and social media campaigns.
On Tuesday, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar in reference to Kishor had said people are free to remain in the party or leave if they want.
"Someone wrote a letter so I replied to it. Someone is tweeting, let him a tweet. What do I have to do with it? One can stay at the party (JD-U) till he wants. He can go if he wants...Do you know how did he join the party? Amit Shah had asked me to induct him," said Kumar, while responding to a media question on Prashant Kishor.
Kishor has repeatedly made his differences with the party known on the issue of the amended citizenship Act. JDU had supported the legislation in both the Houses of Parliament. Last month, Kishor had told media persons that it is only the Bihar Chief Minister who can tell under what circumstances the party supported the Citizen (Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
