Prashant Kishor Clashes With Patna Police During Protest
Imagine a group of people led by Prashant Kishor wanted to talk to the government about some problems they see, like helping poor people and stopping corruption.
They marched towards a government building, but the police stopped them because it was a restricted area.
During the stop, some people got hurt, and Kishor was very upset.
He then sat down on the road and refused to move until he could speak to the Chief Minister himself.
He said he had been trying to get an appointment to discuss these issues for two months.
He criticized the police and even challenged them to use force on him.
Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party supporters were reportedly injured during a Vidhan Sabha march in Patna.

Police intervened at the Chitkohra roundabout, a restricted area near the Vidhan Sabha.
Kishor staged a dharna, demanding a meeting with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
