Patna: Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday made a scintillating revelation on poll strategist Prashant Kishor that he had once suggested a merger of JDU with the Congress party.
When asked about the charge of PK, who claimed that Nitish has offered him the top post, the Bihar CM sharply reacted to it and alleged that he is working at the behest of the BJP.
“He keeps on saying anything. I did not make any offer to him. Let him speak, I care a damn. I have nothing to do with him. I have already talked about him in Delhi and Patna as well. Do I need to talk about him on daily basis? He used to stay with me, he used to stay in my house. What should I say about him? He had once suggested to me that I should merge my party with Congress. I asked him why should I merge my party with Congress. He had told me this around 4 to five years ago,” Nitish said in Patna today.
Nitish further said, “These people don't have permanent addresses and now he has gone to BJP, and accordingly he is doing their work now. I never called him for the meeting. In fact, he himself had come to meet me. I don't want to speak about him anymore. Let him say anything. He has nothing to do with politics.”
