Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor has found himself at the centre of a massive massive political row as hundreds protest against ‘irregularities’ in the BPSC exam. Videos of the former poll strategist arguing with the agitating students have since gone viral — with many claiming that he ‘fled’ the scene. Meanwhile the Bihar Police registered an FIR against 600 to 700 people including Kishor for instigating people and creating law and order issues at Gandhi Maidan.
“We have decided to give the government 48 hours…I would request all the leaders who want to lead the protest to come forward and stand with the students…I was standing with the students and till I was there no lathi charge was done…Whoever official is involved in the lathi charge, we will take legal action against them,” the politician insisted on Monday.
The assertion came soon after RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav claimed that people who “said they would be at the forefront fled” the protest site before police action.
A clip that was re-shared on X by the RJD handle meanwhile shows the politician engaged in a war of words with a protester — purportedly after he went to meet them in Gardanibagh on Sunday evening .
“You asked me for blankets, and you are misbehaving?” the politician can be heard asking in the clip.
The remark appeared to spark outrage with several protesters vociferously countering his assertion. Students were heard raising ‘go back’ slogans as the war of words continued.
“You are trying to intimidate us with blankets?” countered one protester.
