Political strategist-turned-activist Prashant Kishor has launched a sharp attack on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, calling for his resignation. Kishor, who leads the Jan Suraj Party, claimed that Kumar is physically exhausted and mentally unwell, making him unfit to govern.
Speaking at a press conference in Samastipur, Kishor said that the ongoing political crisis in Bihar is not just a state issue but a matter of national importance.
“Even PM Modi Cannot Be Unaware”
Kishor went further, directly holding the BJP leadership responsible for allowing Kumar to continue as CM despite his alleged deteriorating condition.
🗣️ “Nitish Kumar should resign. But the BJP will also bear equal blame because it is not possible that the Prime Minister or the Home Minister do not know that Nitish Kumar is mentally unwell.”

The Viral Video Controversy
The controversy escalated after a viral video showed Nitish Kumar speaking with his Chief Secretary while the national anthem was playing—an act seen as disrespectful.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), criticizing the Chief Minister:
🗣️ “At least please do not disrespect the national anthem, honorable Chief Minister. You insult the youth, students, women, and elderly every day!”
His father, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, also condemned Nitish Kumar’s behavior, stating that the country will not tolerate such disrespect.

Opposition Intensifies Attack on Nitish Kumar
Adding to the drama, a poster targeting Nitish Kumar appeared outside former CM Rabri Devi’s residence. The poster mockingly read:
📜 “A Chief Minister who is not serious—Jana Gana Mana Adhinayak Jai Hai Nahi, Kursi Kursi Kursi Jai Hai.”

JDU Defends Nitish Kumar
Despite the controversy, JD(U) leaders and Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, dismissed concerns regarding his health. Nishant stated:
🗣️ “My father is 100% fit and fully capable of leading Bihar.”
JD(U) has accused the opposition of spreading false propaganda ahead of the upcoming elections, insisting that Nitish Kumar is in full control of the government.

Conclusion: Will Nitish Kumar Step Down?

Will the pressure force Nitish Kumar to step down? Or will he continue to lead despite growing criticism?
