Campaign Ends as Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Seeks a Breakthrough in Bihar

BJP insiders now privately peg its vote near 13–15%, a level that could cut into upper‑caste, middle‑class BJP support.

Overview

  • Jan Suraaj fielded nominees across all 243 Assembly seats within a year of its launch, with three later withdrawing and one nomination rejected.
  • Kishor spent more than two years on statewide padyatras with roadshows and door‑to‑door outreach to build a bottom‑up organization.
  • The party touts heavy digital traction, with Kishor claiming over 30 crore daily video views and significant backing from returning migrants.
  • Some observers in Patna say his early momentum ebbed as the contest polarized between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan in the campaign’s final stretch.
  • The November 14 count will show whether the new outfit translates its ground effort and appeals on jobs, education and migration into decisive vote share.
