PK claims to charge Rs 100 crore for election advice, spending the same for campaignof his party

Patna, Nov 2 (UNI) Amid controversies regarding huge expenditure being incurred by the Jan Suraj Party floated by the noted election strategist Prashant Kishor popular as PK, Kishor claimed that he charged Rs 100 crore from the political parties for his electoral consultations and was now using the same money for his Jan Suraj Party.
While addressing a public meeting recently he stated that much brouhaha was being created in the political corridors regarding the source of the funds being spent by the Jan Suraj Party. Kishor said that he was bearing the expenditure from the money he received from the political parties for his electoral advice.
Retorting sharply at the branding of his party as the B team of BJP, Kishor alleged that the Muslims were specifically being convinced about it, especially on the grounds of the source of funds of the Jan Suraj. Kishor said it was he who stopped BJP at 77 in West Bengal but ironically was being identified as the B team of BJP.
