Prashant Kishor Takes Full Blame for Jan Suraaj’s Bihar Rout, Plans Silent Fast

His first post-election remarks framed the loss as his failure to persuade voters.

Overview

  • Jan Suraaj contested 238 seats and won none, securing roughly 3.44–3.5% of the vote in its Bihar debut.
  • Election data show most candidates lost their deposits, and in 68 constituencies the party polled fewer votes than NOTA.
  • Calling the campaign an honest but unsuccessful effort, Kishor said he accepts 100% responsibility for not winning public trust.
  • He argued the NDA surge was boosted by Rs 10,000 assistance and a promised Rs 2 lakh loan to women, with officials mobilised to spread the message.
  • He will observe a one‑day silent fast at Gandhi Bhitiharwa Ashram on November 20 and vowed to rebuild the party rather than back down.
