In a 70-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Prashant Kishor also spoke about his relationship with Mamata Banerjee and said there was “absolutely” no change in that relationship. He said he laughed at the speculation about his alleged differences or a rift with her. These are stories spread by journalists seeking headlines, he said.
When questioned about a report, put out by ABP Television, that his dinner meeting with Nitish Kumar on Saturday was part of a strategy to create support from different opposition parties for Nitish Kumar as president in the forthcoming elections later this year, Prashant Kishor said “there is not an iota of truth” in this. He said he is not the “sarpanch” of this country. He said his meeting with Nitish was simply “social shishtachar”.

This means relying principally on contributions from readers and concerned citizens who have no interest other than to sustain a space for quality journalism. As a publication, The Wire will be firmly committed to the public interest and democratic values.
