Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj: A New Political Dawn for Bihar

Political strategist Prashant Kishor declared he will not seek any post once his Jan Suraaj campaign turns into a political party by October 2. After over two years of grassroots efforts in Bihar, Kishor aims to provide a better alternative for the state's future.

Political strategist-turned-activist Prashant Kishor announced on Monday that he will not seek any post in his upcoming political party, Jan Suraaj, which is set to launch later this year.

Kishor, the founder of the Indian Political Action Committee (IPAC), shared his intentions in a lengthy post on X, following a well-attended Jan Suraaj meeting. The campaign aims to officially become a political party on Gandhi Jayanti, October 2.

Kishor highlighted that after more than two years of padayatra in Bihar's villages and small towns, the movement began the process of party formation to offer a better future for the state's children.

The first office bearers' convention marked the start of this process on Sunday, in the lead-up to the party's official launch on October 2.

Over the next two months, 1.5 lakh Jan Suraaj office bearers and numerous founding members will convene to determine the party's key priorities, draft its constitution, and elect its leaders.

Staying true to his promise, Kishor reiterated that he would not seek any post in the new party, but would continue his grassroots outreach for several months. He noted that the initiative commenced with a prayer chosen by the people via an online survey.
