Overview

  • Prashant Kishor on June 5 in Saran ridiculed Lalu Prasad Yadav for advocating his son Tejashwi Yadav—who did not complete Class 9—to become Bihar’s ‘king’ despite widespread graduate unemployment.
  • Addressing a crowd under his Bihar Badlav Yatra, Kishor highlighted how local joblessness and corruption drive a diverse electorate’s demand for change.
  • Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party, founded in October 2024, secured 10% support in November by-elections but is yet to win a seat.
  • He has vowed to visit all assembly constituencies over a 120-day campaign to position his party as a third alternative to the NDA and INDIA coalitions.
  • With the Bihar polls slated for October or November 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to speak in Siwan on June 20, marking the NDA’s first major state rally of the season.
