40,000 paramilitary personnel proof that Delhi protest was successful: Prashant Kishor
Delhi paramilitary deployment highlights protest success, says Prashant Kishor
JSP founder and Bankipur MLA Prashant Kishor claimed that the deployment of 40,000 paramilitary forces in Delhi to quell a recent protest proved its efficacy. Kishor, a critic of the Election Commission of India (EC), called for CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, citing a decline in the body's credibility over the past eight to ten years.
Kishor argued that the protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) were a sign of waning confidence in the EC. He criticized a recent NDA meeting in Bihar, suggesting it demonstrated the ruling alliance's growing vulnerability. The JSP leader highlighted the JD(U) MLA Anant Kumar Singh's support for JSP candidate Anuj Singh in a Patna Graduate seat bypoll scheduled for October 23.
Kishor's party had previously secured a decisive victory in Bankipur, a traditionally BJP stronghold, by over 19,000 votes in a bypoll held in August.
