Overview
- Election Commission trends in the initial rounds reported the party trailing in every constituency it contested, with zero leads as counting began.
- By around 11:40 a.m., media tracking the tally said the Jan Suraaj Party was behind in all 238 seats it fielded.
- JSP ran on a ‘third alternative’ message focused on anti-corruption and a migrants-centered pledge offering roughly Rs 10,000–12,000 per month.
- Prashant Kishor did not stand for a seat, positioning professionals and former officials as candidates across the slate.
- Analysts are watching whether the new party affected margins between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan, while Kishor’s claims of BJP pressure on JSP nominees remain unverified.
