Earlier this month, Kishor accused Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar failing to deliver tangible benefits for the state despite the BJP being dependent on it to retain power at the Centre.
“People are talking about special status for Bihar. I wonder why Nitish Kumar could not push for the revival of 20 sugar factories which have been in decline for years. He has been in power for nearly 20 years, which will be remembered for wasted opportunities,” the IPAC founder told reporters here.
