"Yes, indeed Nitish Kumar has done a lot for Muslims by stabbing them in the back (peeth mein chhura bhonkne ka kaam kiya).
He formed a government in 2015 with Muslims' overwhelming support and realigned with BJP two years later", said Kishor.

Patel (73), who comes from the dominant Chaudhary community, aims to cause damage by attracting Chaudhary votes that conventionally go to the BJP. He won the Vav seat in 1990 as a Janata Dal candidate.
