Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor met Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP chief Sunetra Pawar, and her MP son Parth Pawar, in Mumbai on Thursday. The meeting came days after Kishor defeated the BJP in the Bankipur bypoll in Bihar. It was his second meeting with the Pawars in three months. The BJP, an NCP alliance partner, objected to the interaction, saying it was inappropriate for a member of the NDA to engage with someone who has built his political identity around defeating the BJP, The Times of India reports. The meetings have led to speculation that Kishor could advise the NCP. Parth Pawar previously said Kishor was a family friend and had left political advisory work.
