During a recent public interaction, politician PK quipped that his meeting with Samrat Choudhary does not automatically confer a doctorate on the Bihar chief minister, targeting Nitish Kumar’s credibility.
In a press briefing held earlier this week, a senior political figure identified only as PK launched a pointed remark at Bihar’s chief minister, Nitish Kumar. He said, “My meeting with Samrat Choudhary doesn’t mean he’s suddenly earned a PhD,” implying that the CM’s recent statements about academic credentials were unfounded.
Samrat Choudhary, a prominent leader in Bihar’s opposition circles, has been a frequent interlocutor for several parties. PK’s comment linked the CM’s alleged claims to a meeting with Choudhary, suggesting that such interactions do not automatically validate any scholarly qualifications.
The remark sparked brief reactions on social media, with supporters of the CM dismissing it as political theatrics, while opposition voices hailed it as a necessary challenge to what they described as the CM’s exaggeration of his educational background.
No official response from the chief minister’s office was recorded at the time of reporting, and the incident remains a minor flashpoint in the ongoing political discourse in Bihar.
The Economic Times reported the exchange, noting that such verbal sparring is common in the state’s highly competitive electoral environment.
