None like Sushil Modi in giving character certificate: Prashant Kishor

PATNA: Poll strategist Prashant Kishor on Saturday launched a blistering attack against Bihar deputy chief minister and BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi bringing to fore the widening differences between the two leaders.


Responding to a tweet by Sushil Kumar Modi in which the Bihar deputy chief minister took a dig at Prashant Kishor and Pavan Varma , the JD(U)leader shared an old video of the BJP leader and said: "Nobody can match Sushil Modi when it comes to giving character certificate.

Earlier, he used to give certificate by saying, but now that he is the deputy chief minister, he does that by writing. His chronology is very clear."

In the video shared by Kishor, Sushil Modi is seen accusing Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar of deceiving the BJP. "Nitish Kumar is not Bihar and Bihar is not Nitish Kumar. Betrayal is in his DNA," Sushil Modi, who also slammed RJD chief Lalu Prasad and others in the same video, is seen saying.

Kishor also shared a tweet by Sushil Modi in which he praises Nitish Kumar.

Sushil Modi's tweet says: "Everything is not fair in politics. He gave someone his chief ministership, helped someone get to the Rajya Sabha, gave someone - who had no experience in politics - a high rank in the organisation. But some people are thankless."

Prashant Kishor and Pavan Varma have been vocal in opposing the CAA and the proposed NRC. Pavan Varma recently sought "ideological clarity" from JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar over extending alliance with the BJP beyond Bihar in Delhi despite having expressed apprehensions "in private" about the BJP-RSS leading the nation into a "dangerous space".

He shot off a strongly-worded letter to Nitish Kumar saying he was "perplexed" by the partys tie-up with the BJP for the Delhi assembly polls and accusing the saffron party of having "embarked on a massive, socially divisive agenda."

Nitish Kumar slammed Varma for publicly questioning the JD(U)'s tie-up with the BJP for Delhi assembly elections and said he was "free to go" wherever he likes.
