Samrat Choudhary, Prashant Kishor shake hands at BJP leader's funeral in Patna
· India · Indian Express, NDTV
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary met Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor at the Brahmbhoj ceremony for senior BJP leader RK Sinha on November 13. The two leaders exchanged greetings and shared a cordial chat, marking their first known public encounter. Kishor later told media that social courtesy should be maintained, but emphasized his political opposition to Choudhary would continue. Senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi also attended the Patna residence function.
Why it matters
The meeting provides a brief thaw in the public rivalry between Kishor, who has aggressively targeted Choudhary over his age and qualifications, and the Chief Minister, though political differences remain unresolved. It signals a momentary courtesy ahead of the upcoming Assembly session.
