Prashant Kishor Shifts Focus: Opts Out of Bihar Polls to Support Party Candidates

Prashant Kishor, founder of Jan Suraaj, will not contest the Bihar Assembly elections, citing a focus on supporting party candidates. Amid seat-sharing disputes in the NDA, Kishor criticizes prominent leaders and predicts losses for the current administration. Bihar is set for elections in two phases on November 6 and 11.

Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor has announced that he will not be vying for a seat in the forthcoming Bihar Assembly elections, scheduled for November 6 and 11. Kishor stated that the party members wanted him to channel his efforts into ensuring the victory of other party candidates.

Reflecting on the ongoing tensions within the NDA regarding seat-sharing, Kishor alleged that citizens are aware that every leader is scrambling for their own share in the governance. He emphasized that both NDA and Mahagathbandhan are indistinguishable, predicting a significant defeat for Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary in Tarapur.

The political climate heats up as the Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha accused the Mahagathbandhan of internal conflicts over seat distribution. Meanwhile, the BJP has announced its first slate of 71 candidates, and the NDA has solidified its seat-sharing pact, gearing up for Bihar's electoral showdown.
