‘Caste loyalty has come at a cost’: Prashant Kishor nudges Mithila Brahmins to rethink BJP support

Political strategist Prashant Kishor has urged the Mithila Brahmins in Bihar to rethink their support for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Kishor, who is a Brahmin himself, said that the community's 'caste loyalty' has come at a cost, referring to the BJP's policies that have allegedly hurt the interests of the Brahmins. Kishor is a key strategist for the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in Bihar.

Kishor's remarks come ahead of the Bihar assembly elections later this year, where the BJP is seeking to retain power. The BJP has denied Kishor's allegations and accused him of playing caste politics.
