Bihar's ruling Janata Dal United (JDU) has expelled Prashant Kishor after weeks of spat between him and Nitish Kumar. The Bihar Chief Minister had hinted yesterday at the exit amid a rapidly deteriorating slugfest over the citizenship law.
Prashant Kishor, as vice president of Janata Dal United since 2018, had been a virtual number two to Nitish Kumar.
This morning, a party leader has added to the spiraling feud by comparing Mr Kishor to the deadly Coronavirus and said his countdown had started.
