Overview

• State BJP leaders claimed more than Rs 370 crore flowed to Prashant Kishor and Jan Suraaj from West Bengal, citing his past work there for Trinamool Congress.
• The party further alleged funding from Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, and said over Rs 50 crore came from people seeking tickets for Bihar’s 243 assembly seats.
• BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal questioned a cited Rs 14 crore payment from Ayodhya Rami Reddy and asked why loss-making companies would fund Kishor, hinting at possible round-tripping.
• The accusations escalated after Kishor publicly challenged Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary’s academic record, including a claimed D-Litt despite not passing class 10.
• The assertions were presented by BJP spokespeople in public statements, and the reporting offers no independent substantiation of the financial claims.
