Vaishali: In a fiery address at the Bihar Badlav Rally, Jan Suraaj Party chief Prashant Kishor launched a full-blown political assault on the ruling and opposition parties in Bihar, promising transformative change if voted to power in the upcoming state elections. Taking aim at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, and the Congress, Kishor accused them of collectively failing the state for over four decades.
“First Congress ruled you for 40 years, then Lalu ji for 15, and Nitish Kumar has been in power for the last 20 years. Still, look around—nothing has changed in Vaishali,” he told a charged crowd, adding, “If you listen to me this time, your children will not have to go out for education or jobs. Everything will be available right here.”
Addressing economic distress and employment, Kishor made a bold promise: “This will be the last Diwali and Chhath of misery. Within one year of our government, every household in Bihar will have at least one opportunity for earning ₹10,000 to ₹12,000 per month.”
He didn’t shy away from attacking what he called “politics of distraction.” Referring to communal polarisation and welfare bait, he remarked, “People voted in the name of Hindu-Muslim, for 5 kg grains, and even for the Ram Temple. But has that brought jobs, schools, hospitals, or factories to Hajipur or Vaishali?”
Kishor alleged that the public has been repeatedly misled with emotional appeals, while systemic development continues to lag. “They built the Ram Mandir with your votes, but where is your Indira Awas Yojana house? Where are your schools and colleges?” he questioned, accusing voters of falling into a cycle of short-term benefits and long-term neglect.
He urged the people of Bihar to stop voting out of habit or desperation, but instead for tangible change and a “new political culture.”
Jan Suraaj Party is gearing up to contest the forthcoming Bihar Assembly elections, widely expected to be held later this year. While the Election Commission of India is yet to announce official dates, Kishor’s campaign is gaining momentum with his focus on livelihood, education, and youth-centric governance.
