‘prashant kishor travelled to kolkata amid lockdown,’ alleges bjp

In a statement, Bihar BJP spokesperson Nikhil Anand demanded to know by whose permission Kishor, who is not a government official, airline crew member, healthcare worker or journalist,

travelled to Kolkata. “We demand that the documents which have facilitated his travel, secretly in a cargo plane dodging the lockdown, be made public. Else we would put pressure on the

Airport Authority of India and the Civil Aviation Ministry to order an inquiry into the episode,” he further added. When contacted by news agency PTI_, _Kishor said that those making these

allegations must furnish proof of the same. "If he (the BJP spokesman) is speaking the truth, he should furnish details like which flight I boarded and the time when it took off and

landed. If he does so, I will retire from public life. If not, people like him should apologise", Kishor told_ _PTI. Ajay Alok, leader of the Janata Dal (United), of which Kishor was a

part, before being expelled for his stance against party chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, also criticised Kishor and Mamata. "During the pandemic people are seeking masks,

sanitizers, ventilators and other equipment alongside doctors and nurses. Didi (Mamata) ordered such a heavy duty cargo item,” said Alok in a tweet.
