What the Defeat of New Entrant Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj, Says of Bihar’s Future

The Hindu  

Published : Dec 21, 2024 16:45 IST - 5 MINS READ There are several lessons to be learnt from the rough and tumble of Bihar politics, and it is time for Prashant Kishor, the brand guru of political strategy, to learn a few. Kishor, a new entrant into Bihar politics, objects seriously to typifying the State for its caste politics and goes on to cite how caste is a factor even in South India. Although the great show, that is the 2025 Bihar Assembly election, may be nearly a year away, the results of the State’s Assembly byelection last month came as a dampener for Kishor’s newly floated party, Jan Suraaj. In the byelection, which was to be a barometer for the future of Kishor’s party, Jan Suraaj lost all four seats it contested; it even lost its deposit in three. Nitish Kumar’s JD stood its ground in the 2024 Lok Sabha election as well as in the byelection, despite Kishor’s repeated assertions of that the Nitish era was over.
