Prashant Kishor said Kumar was “nominated” to the post by the BJP and the state should brace for a few more years of lacklustre governance with a “tired and politically belittled” leader at the helm.
On Monday, poll strategist Prashant Kishor took a swipe at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, after he took the oath of office for the seventh time. Prashant Kishor said Kumar was “nominated” to the post by the BJP and the state should brace for a few more years of lacklustre governance with a “tired and politically belittled” leader at the helm.
Mr Kishor, once a close aide of Mr Kumar, was made vice-president of the JD(U). However, Mr Kishor’s independent and often adversarial views soured their relations and he was expelled from the party.
“Congratulations to Nitish Kumar for taking oath as BJP-nominated chief minister. With a tired and politically belittled leader as CM, #Bihar should brace for few more years of lacklustre governance,” Prashant Kishor said.
भाजपा मनोनीत मुख्यमंत्री के तौर पर शपथ लेने पर @NitishKumar जी को बधाई।
With a tired and politically belittled leader as CM, #Bihar should brace for few more years of lacklustre governance.

Mr Kishor, who used to be active on micro-blogging site earlier, tweeted after four months to wish Mr Kumar and take a potshot at him at the same time.
