Prashant Kishor demands Nitish's resignation over treatment being meted out to people arriving in Bihar

Poll strategist and former Janata Dal (United) leader Prashant Kishor on Monday took on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar while posting on his social media account a video of migrant labourers locked inside a room, crying and begging to be released.

Mr. Kishor was expelled from the JD(U) after he had fallen out with Mr. Kumar on issues such as the CAA, NRC and the NPR.

“One more frightening picture of official efforts to protect people from the coronavirus epidemic - poor migrants who came from various parts of the country after suffering many hardships are subjected to this heart-wrenching arrangement for social distancing and quarantine by Nitish Kumar”, tweeted Mr. Kishor with hashtag #NitishMustQuit.
