In a surprising move, Jan Suraj Party chief Prashant Kishor announced that he will not contest the Bihar Assembly elections, prioritizing the party’s organisational growth over personal ambition. Kishor explained that contesting would distract him from strengthening the party, potentially hampering its preparations.
Ambitious Targets for Jan Suraj
In a candid interview, Kishor set a bold target for his fledgling party, aiming for 150 seats out of 294. He said anything less would indicate public skepticism toward his policies, while a resounding mandate could transform Bihar’s governance and reshape national politics.
Strategy Against RJD and Focus on Organisational Growth
Kishor revealed that Jan Suraj will field a rival candidate against RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav in Raghopur, underlining the priority of party expansion over personal electoral ambition. “If I fight, my focus would shift from building the party,” he remarked, emphasizing long-term organisational strategy.
High-Stakes Gamble in Bihar Politics
Kishor’s announcement has stirred political circles, with his all-or-nothing approach raising the stakes. He predicted that Jan Suraj could either win over 150 seats or less than 10, hinting at a high-risk strategy. In case of setbacks, he vowed to return to grassroots engagement with Bihar’s common citizens.
Bihar Awaits Kishor’s Political Maneuver
With elections imminent, all eyes are on Prashant Kishor as his calculated gamble could either reshape Bihar’s political landscape or set back Jan Suraj’s ambitions, making the state a key stage for this electoral experiment.
