Prashant Kishor

In a tweet minutes after the JD(U) suspended Kishor, Kishor said, "Thank you Nitish Kumar. My best wishes to you to retain the chair of Chief Minister of Bihar. God bless you."

This comes days after both Kishor and Varma exchanged barbs with other senior JD(U) leaders, including Bihar CM and party chief Nitish Kumar, particularly over the CAA and the proposed pan-India NRC

Ajay Alok’s response came in retaliation to Prashant Kishor’s tweet about Bihar Chief Minister and JDU leader Nitish Kumar’s “lies about why Kishor was inducted into the party”.

Prashant Kishor lashed out at Nitish Kumar for saying that he was inducted into the party at the instance of Union Home Minister and then BJP chief Amit Shah

Kishor, who had crafted BJP’s general election campaign in 2014, urged Delhi's voters to vote on February 8 to promote brotherhood and harmony and uphold the ideals of the Constitution

Kishor’s comment comes a day after Shah at a rally in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh said that CAA will not be withdrawn, no matter who protests

The BJP, an ally of the JD(U) headed by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, got rankled by the commendation of the opposition party by the former election strategist.

"All is well" was Kumar's terse reply as he walked past a posse of journalists here who waited eagerly for him to speak out on the turmoil that has engulfed the alliance between the two parties over the past few days.

Prashant Kishor has in the recent past rankled the BJP with his continuous outbursts against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens

Kishor tweeted against NRC -- drawing a parallel with the Narendra Modi government's move to demonetise high-value currency notes in 2016

This is the first major campaign launched by Trinamool after getting political strategist Prashant Kishor on board

Born in 1977, Kishor is a public health expert by qualification. He worked for the United Nations for eight years

Banerjee's meeting with Kishor took place at a time when the TMC supremo is facing a tough challenge from the BJP on her home turf.

A resident of Buxar district in the state, Kishor shot to fame in 2014 when he managed the poll campaign for Narendra Modi, then the prime ministerial candidate of the BJP, which went on to put up its best-ever electoral performance.

Kishor was inducted into the JD(U) in September last year and elevated to the post of national vice-president weeks later triggering speculation that he was being thought of by Kumar as his political heir.

After raising the BJP's hackles last month by opposing the Citizenship Amendment Bill - which the JD(U) supported in Parliament and triggering a storm two days ago with the contention that the CM's party must contest more seats than its ally, Kishor intensified the political heat with a frontal attack on Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi.

Kishor, who has often been called Nitish Kumar’s Chanakya, has been inducted into the JD(U) months ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls

Kishor had shot to fame in 2014 when he managed the poll campaign for Narendra Modi.

Much has been written about Congress' choices in Uttar Pradesh - Sheila Dikshit as CM face and Raj Babbar as PCC chief. But, as a senior neta confides, an important point is not said loud enough.

It has been smouldering for a while, but now the smoke signals can be seen outside the Bihar secretariat. Nitish Kumar is miffed with his advisor Prashant Kishor. Yes, you heard it right. Miffed with the same man who was behind the Mahagathbandhan's grand victory in Bihar last year.
