Amid Row Over Plush Van At Hunger Strike Site, Prashant Kishor’s Comeback

New Delhi:

Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor is on a defensive during his hunger strike in Patna, after critics pointed at his plush van.

Mr Kishor is on a hunger strike in support of the 70th Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) preliminary examination candidates, who alleged irregularities in the conduct of the exams.

Mr Kishor’s white caravan is a modified minibus with standard caravan fittings installed.

During his fast, his rivals pointed at the plush vehicle and questioned him if he was sincere in his protest.

Mr Kishor shot back at them. He told reporters he needed the van to avoid the press and rivals from making false allegations of breaking the hunger strike if he went home to use the washroom, as they could say he had gone to eat meals.
