Janata Dal – United president Nitish Kumar has elevated election strategist and newly inducted leader Prashant Kishor to the party’s vice-president post. Kishor now will be the second-in-command in the party rank after Nitish Kumar.
JD-U spokesperson KC Tyagi said that Kishor’s elevation to the vice-president post will help the party to expand its outreach in social segments and also strengthen its vote base.
“He (Kishor) has been appointed Vice President of the party,” Tyagi said.
Kishor, 41, had joined the JD-U last month at an event in Patna. At that time there were speculations that Kumar will give him a crucial role in the party. Kishor, the founder of Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), had in 2015 Assembly polls worked for Kumar’s party.
