Prashant Kishore Demanded Mental Health Test of Nitish Kumar

Prashant Kishore, a prominent strategist turned politician, has made headlines by calling for a mental health evaluation of Bihar's Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar. Kishore issued a bold challenge to the CM, urging him to name his colleagues along with their respective ministries on camera, a test of memory that could scrutinize Kumar’s grasp of his own administration source says. Kishore asserted that if the Chief Minister successfully answers this challenge, he would refrain from contesting against him and would instead support the ruling party. Kishore first gained significant recognition during the 2015 assembly elections when he served as a key strategist for the Mahagathbandhan, leading to a historic victory that bolstered his reputation in political circles source says. 

His success caught the attention of numerous political factions, prompting them to enlist his expertise in their campaigns. However, Kishore's ambitions led to his induction into the Janata Dal (United) by Nitish Kumar himself. Despite this opportunity, Kishore’s aspirations for a leading political role saw him establish the Jan Suraj movement, reflecting his desire to make a mark as a political leader. As the political landscape evolves, Prashant Kishore is gearing up to contest the upcoming assembly elections in his home state of Bihar. His journey from strategist to politician is characterized by a relentless pursuit of influence and leadership in the competitive arena of Indian politics source says.
