Jan Suraaj Party bit the dust in the assembly polls, and the results were unexpected for the party leaders, especially for founder and poll strategist Prashant Kishor. The party failed to open its account in the elections. Kishor had been claiming that the people of Bihar were looking for an option and that his party would emerge as that alternative in the polls.
Once, while talking to News 24, Kishor had claimed: “If JDU wins even 25 seats, I will give up politics forever.” He had also claimed that after November, Nitish Kumar would not remain Chief Minister.
He also levelled allegations against three senior BJP leaders — Samrat Chaudhary, Dilip Jaiswal and Mangal Pandey. He targeted RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav as well, taking a jibe at him by calling him a “9th failed”, but this attack made no impact on the ground and remained limited to social media.
The Jan Suraaj Party leader had launched a 3,000-kilometre Jan Suraaj Padyatra on October 2, 2022, from Champaran.
Political analysts say Kishor, a poll strategist who once helped several political parties achieve victory, has now failed to win even a single seat in Bihar. The party founder took on all his political opponents and tried to project his party as pro-people.
Social media users trolled Kishor, sharing his interviews on different platforms. Some wrote that the leader is “totally finished” after the results, while another took a dig at him, saying, “Narrative is noise, numbers are truth.”
