Independent MP Pappu Yadav has criticized Jan Suraaj party chief Prashant Kishor for lacking regional knowledge and allegedly advocating the end of liquor prohibition in Bihar. With bypolls approaching, Yadav questioned Kishor's approach, while Kishor has vowed to lift the liquor ban if elected.

In a fiery outburst, Independent MP from Bihar's Purnia, Pappu Yadav, criticized Jan Suraaj party chief Prashant Kishor for alleged ignorance about Bihar's socio-political landscape. Yadav accused Kishor of forming a core team of retired officials and lacking genuine understanding of local issues.
