Prashant Kishor doubts Nitish Kumar's mental health. And CM's son adds a twist to the tale

Prashant Kishor has got his finger on the pulse of Bihari voters—their frustration and listlessness with a CM who has lost his mojo but refuses to call it quits.
The article discusses political strategist Prashant Kishor's comments on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's mental health, suggesting that Kumar's recent political decisions, including his alliance with the RJD and his fluctuating political alignments, indicate a decline in his mental faculties. Kishor, who once worked with Kumar, expressed these doubts during a media interaction. In response, Tej Pratap Yadav, the son of RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav and a minister in Kumar's cabinet, defended Kumar by humorously questioning Kishor's own mental state, implying that Kishor might be the one needing a mental health check. This exchange adds a twist to the ongoing political drama in Bihar, highlighting the personal and political tensions between these figures.
