Bihar: Nitish Kumar's ace strategist explains how Narendra Modi was trapped Empty Bihar: Nitish Kumar's ace strategist explains how Narendra Modi was trapped

Minutes before Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in Patna to address a rally in north Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district on July 25, a volley of questions was fired at him from chief minister Nitish Kumar’s Twitter handle. Ruffled by the ploy, Modi began his speech by criticising the tweets, walking into a trap devised by the chief minister’s principal election strategist.

Meet 38-year-old Prashant Kishor, the man who designed Modi’s high-tech and highly successful campaign for last year’s parliamentary polls but crossed over to Nitish Kumar and set up an election offensive that captured Bihar’s imagination.
“Having worked closely with him during the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, we knew the PM’s mind. The battle is half won, if one can rattle him,” Kishor told HT during the Bihar election. “He walked into our trap. Instead of saying what he wanted to, he started his speech by replying to our tweets.”

Kishor flooded roads leading to the PM’s rally venue in Muzaffarpur with Nitish Kumar’s posters. His tactics forced BJP chief Amit Shah to camp in Gaya district for a couple of days ahead of an August 9 Modi rally to ensure Kishor did not play any mischief.
Unlike the Lok Sabha campaign, Modi could not dictate the campaign discourse. Every time he would address a rally, Nitish would counter his claims with facts that emerged in research done by Kishor’s war room in a building near Patna’s Gandhi Maidan.

And it's not just Nitish that Kishor shares a good rapport. He shares a very warm relationship with Lalu too, according to people in the RJD. A story doing the rounds in Patna's political circles is how Lalu in one meeting told his sons, Tejasvi and Tej: "Yeh panditji hain. Inka pair chuho aur agar hum na rahein to hamesha inki salah lena (He is a wise man. You must touch his feet and even when I am not around, you must always take his advice)."
