Kishor was admitted to the private hospital on Tuesday, a day after his arrest by the police for staging a dharna at a site in the city where such agitations are prohibited, and granted bail by a court hours later.
Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor was discharged from a hospital in Patna on Saturday following an improvement in his health condition, the party said in a statement.
However, the 47-year-old former political strategist continued with the ‘fast-unto-death’ he had launched on January 2 in protest against alleged irregularities in a BPSC exam held last month.
Prashant Kishor’s ‘anshan’ or fast in support of BPSC aspirants continues. He was discharged from the hospital in the evening as his health improved. Further details about his ‘satyagraha’ will be made known tomorrow,” the statement said.
Interestingly, Kishor was hospitalized at a private facility on Tuesday when he was admitted a day after his arrest by the police for staging a dharna at a site in the city where such agitations are prohibited and was granted bail hours later by a court.
He was kept in the ICU for a day before being shifted to the general ward, even as his party colleagues urged the aspirants and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to pressure the young leader to call off the fast.
