Overview

  • Kishor claimed that BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal transferred ₹25 lakh in 2019 to Health Minister Mangal Pandey’s father and that the funds financed a flat in Pandey’s wife’s name in Delhi’s Dwarka
  • He flagged that the Bihar Health Department paid up to ₹27 lakh each for pandemic-era ambulances—far above prices negotiated by Odisha and Uttar Pradesh
  • Kishor alleged that Pandey rewarded Jaiswal’s stakes in a Kishanganj medical college by granting it deemed university status shortly after the flat purchase
  • He cited a Rajasthan court’s recent conviction of Bihar minister Jibesh Kumar Mishra for producing spurious medicine to underscore what he called the BJP’s tolerance for graft
  • BJP spokesperson Neeraj Kumar dismissed the charges as baseless and demanded that Kishor produce documentary proof before the October-November assembly elections
