No alliance with any party, says Prashant Kishor after Bankipur bypoll win
With his victory, the Jan Suraaj Party will have its maiden presence in the Bihar assembly.
Prashant Kishor, founder of Jan Suraaj Party, has ruled out any possibility of joining a political alliance, claiming his victory in the Bankipur assembly bypoll was due to the support of disgruntled voters from other parties such as BJP, Congress, and RJD. He defeated BJP's Neeraj Kumar by over 19,000 votes, marking his party's first presence in the Bihar assembly.
Kishor emphasized that the Jan Suraaj Party's alliance would be with the people of Bihar, expressing gratitude towards those who supported the party despite their party affiliations. His win is seen as a referendum on the BJP-led government in Bihar, following the resignation of MLA Nitin Nabin who joined the Rajya Sabha. Kishor criticized the BJP's choice of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, urging the party to select a more qualified individual.
Despite his refusal to join the opposition coalition, Kishor's victory could potentially draw interest from the INDIA bloc, which could benefit from his energy and organizational skills.
