Patna, November 14, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Jan Suraaj founder and Bankipur MLA Prashant Kishor on Saturday clarified that he has no personal feud with Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, saying their differences are ideological and concern the development of Bihar.
His remarks came days after the two leaders met at a Brahmbhoj ceremony organised following the death of senior BJP leader and former Rajya Sabha MP R.K. Sinha, who passed away on October 30. BJP national secretary Rituraj Sinha had escorted Kishor to meet Choudhary at the gathering.
Speaking to IANS, Kishor said social interactions were part of Bihar’s cultural traditions and should not be seen as political reconciliation.
“This is Bihar’s culture. And in our own culture, in public life or in any aspect of social life, when you meet someone, there is no personal fight, no personal feud. The feud is ideological; the feud is regarding the development of Bihar. Personally, I have neither any association with Samrat Choudhary nor any love, nor any feud with him,” he said.
On Friday, Kishor had also said that meeting Choudhary did not mean he would change his political assessment of the Chief Minister. He reiterated that social and political etiquette should be maintained despite ideological differences.
Meanwhile, Choudhary announced on Friday that the six-lane Kachchi Dargah-Bidupur bridge over the Ganga would be named ‘Nitish Setu’ in honour of former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Reacting to the announcement, Kishor said the construction of the bridge mattered more than the name. The bridge connects to Raghopur, the Assembly constituency represented by Tejashwi Yadav.
“It’s good; a bridge should be built. Whosoever’s name it is built under, as long as a bridge is built, that is good,” he said.
