YouTuber said, “I want to fight for Bihar and Biharis. I think I will not be able to raise the voice of the people effectively by staying in the party. So I have decided this.” During the live session, Kashyap sought suggestions from his followers from where he should contest the upcoming election.
What happened after the PMCH incident?
The decision came only a few days after the alleged incident at the PMCH Hospital in Patna, where Kashyap was allegedly attacked by doctors. After this incident, he expressed disappointment over the BJP not supporting him, a complaint that he had been expressing publicly for the last few days.
Kashyap’s sudden exit from BJP brings a new turn in the political plot developing in Bihar, especially in view of the 2025 state elections and the 2026 Lok Sabha elections. Their next step, especially that they will contest independently or will join any other party, it remains to be seen.
