Prashant Kishor’s Pledge: Tackling Bihar’s Corruption Epidemic

Prashant Kishor, founder of Jan Suraaj Party, promises a comprehensive crackdown on corruption in Bihar if elected. He plans to confiscate wealth from corrupt officials and introduce reforms within the first month of governance, addressing corruption rampant under both NDA and RJD regimes.

Prashant Kishor, the founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, has vowed a rigorous campaign against corruption in Bihar if his party gains power. Kishor, in an exclusive conversation with PTI, highlighted the extensive corruption he claims exists under the current NDA government, despite its cleaner image compared to Lalu Prasad's RJD leadership.

He outlined a plan to identify and prosecute 100 of the most corrupt politicians and bureaucrats within a month of forming a government. Kishor also promised policy changes such as the abolition of the 'farzi' prohibition policy to tackle the state's issues with mafia operations.

Addressing the corruption allegations involving key political figures from various parties, Kishor expressed frustration with the ongoing plight of Bihar, attributing it partly to national parties like BJP and Congress, who support inefficient local leaders for electoral gains.
