Overview
- Kishor made the remarks during a regional Padyatra and a Brahmin gathering in Mahinam village, Darbhanga, which were reported on Wednesday.
- He accused sections of the Brahmin community of alienating Muslim voters after aligning with the BJP and targeting Muslims on social media, saying those voters once helped elect Brahmin leaders.
- Kishor urged the community to prioritise education and socioeconomic advancement over religious symbolism, telling the gathering that learning, not ritualised politics, is their traditional strength.
- Drawing on his Padyatra through Darbhanga and Madhubani, he highlighted wide dependence on migration and local unemployment as drivers of political discontent.
- If Brahmins do not rebuild cross-community ties, Kishor said, the long-standing caste-based vote coalitions in Mithila could weaken and reshape future local electoral math.
