Prashant Kishore, the founder of Jan Suraj, who entered the political arena from election strategist, has prepared for Bihar elections by working hard at the grassroots level for 3 years and touring the state. Jan Suraj had fielded his candidates on all 243 seats in the state, out of which three candidates have left the electoral field. In this way, Jan Suraj is now contesting elections on 240 seats only.
Jan Suraj’s candidate Akhilesh Kumar alias Mootur Shah could not file nomination from Danapur seat.

Prashant Kishore said that BJP is behind the withdrawal of nominations of his three candidates. He said that booths were looted during Lalu rule, but during BJP rule, candidates are being kidnapped. Union Home Minister Amit Shah And accused Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan of threatening their candidates to withdraw their nominations.
PK said that BJP leaders kept Mootur Shah with senior BJP leaders like Amit Shah and Bihar election in-charge Dharmendra Pradhan for the whole day. For this, while showing a photo, he said that BJP people were telling that RJD goons had taken him hostage, but in reality he was sitting with the Home Minister of India. He said the Election Commission should look into how a Home Minister can side with a candidate to prevent him from filing nominations.
Regarding Dr. Satya Prakash Tiwari, who withdrew his nomination from Brahmapur seat, Prashant Kishore released a photo, in which Tiwari is seen with Dharmendra Pradhan at his house. He said that this is clear evidence of pressure. It is unprecedented for a Union Minister to meet an opposition candidate after the election announcement. He claimed that Sinha had complained to him about pressure on the phone, but after two hours the phone was switched off and local BJP leaders took it into their custody.
Candidates left on 240 seats of Jan Suraj
Prashant Kishor said in clear words that Jan Suraj had decided to contest on all 243 seats, due to which candidates were fielded on all the seats. NDA put pressure on three candidates of Jan Suraj to leave the election field, out of which BJP put pressure on two candidates and JDU put pressure on one seat.
PK said that BJP and JDU ousted three candidates of Jan Suraj from the election field by playing the tactic of ‘Sam, Daam, Dand, Bheed’. This is a conspiracy to weaken Jan Suraj, but Jan Suraj candidates are still in the fray on 240 seats. PK said that he will not contest the elections himself, but will take charge of the organizational work and publicity for the party.
PK is now in a mood to confront BJP
Changing his political strategy, Prashant Kishor is now seen to be in a mood to confront BJP. This becomes clear from the way he directly attacked Amit Shah to Dharmendra Pradhan and then targeted BJP.
PK’s attempt is to make Bihar elections triangular, for which he has planned to directly target BJP. In view of this, PK is directly attacking BJP leaders like Samrat Choudhary to Dilip Jaiswal and Mangal Pandey, so that he can attract the votes of the opponents of Lalu family towards Jan Suraj.
How will PK be able to play the game on the front foot?
The way PK has come on the front foot after three candidates withdrew from the election, it is clear that this is a strategy to bring Jan Suraj back into the election scene. Nowadays, any election in the country is being fought on three fronts, first of which is management, second is public anger and third is through social media.
Prashant Kishor has entered the Bihar elections with full management, so that he can become an alternative to NDA and Grand Alliance. He is raising the same issues in Bihar elections, through which he can leave his mark in the minds of the people. That is why we are repeatedly raising the same issues which the people of Bihar want to hear and know. Apart from this, PK is also not missing out from telling that after working hard, we have presented a third option and now if they do not choose him, then he will have to cry for five years.
Prashant Kishor is also fighting a strong battle through social media in the election battlefield of Bihar. Jan Suraj’s social media looks quite aggressive compared to parties like RJD, BJP and JDU. PK is also busy in setting the political narrative through social media, for which his videos and posts are also going viral. In this way, PK is betting to maintain its presence strongly in the election scene of Bihar. If he continues like this, then he will be seen standing in the election game of Bihar also.
