Overview

• Senior BJP leader R.K. Singh said Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary and state BJP chief Dilip Jaiswal must publicly rebut Prashant Kishor’s charges or resign, citing damage to the alliance’s credibility.
• Ashok Choudhary has served a Rs 100 crore defamation notice to Kishor after being accused of benami land deals and property purchases valued at over Rs 200 crore.
• JD(U) chief spokesperson Neeraj Kumar urged Ashok Choudhary to issue a point-by-point response, calling the allegations a serious test for the party’s image under Nitish Kumar.
• Kishor’s specific claims include a forged birth certificate and fake degree by Samrat Choudhary, disputed property transfers linked to Ashok Choudhary, and unaccounted funds tied to Health Minister Mangal Pandey’s Delhi flat purchase.
• The Bihar BJP has countered by questioning how Kishor raised large sums allegedly via shell companies, while those named have largely stayed silent and the RJD has been publicly restrained.
