BPSC Protest: Prashant Kishor’s Use of ₹25 Lakh Vanity Van Sparks Political Controversy
During the ongoing student protest in Patna's Gandhi Maidan, where Prashant Kishor has joined students in a hunger strike, questions have emerged about the presence of a luxurious vanity van nearby. This high-end van, reportedly costing ₹25 lakh per day, has become the center of political debate.Opposition parties, including the RJD, have criticized Kishor, accusing him of staging a show of protest. RJD leaders claim that using such a lavish facility undermines the seriousness of his hunger strike and portrays a misleading narrative of solidarity with the students.BJP leaders have also raised concerns, questioning the source of funds for renting the costly vanity van. They argue that the use of luxury amenities at a protest site dilutes the credibility of the movement and raises ethical concerns about its intent.The issue has added fuel to the political fire surrounding the BPSC protests, with allegations that the move might be an attempt to mislead the public and divert attention from the core issues raised by the students. Prashant Kishor is yet to respond to the growing criticism regarding the vanity van's presence.
