Election strategist Prashant Kishore earlier made a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and dynasty politics in Congress. He said that Rahul Gandi is the leader of Congress because he is the son of Rajiv Gandhi, which in fact will not make Mr. Gandhi leader of the nation, according to Mr. Kishore. He also added that “anyone can come and sit if it is your father’s party”.
The first time Mr. Kishore made a comment against Rahul Gandhi was while addressing a gathering at Muzaffarpur, Bihar. He “questioned” the relevance of Mr. Gandhi’s presence in Bihar. He asked “what does Bihar have to do with Rahul Gandhi? He can’t even name four districts in Bihar. When was the last time you saw him in the state, or heard him speak on any Bihar- issue?”, as reported by media.
