Politics for Prashant Kishor is an adhesive
The HinduPolitical strategist-cum-founder of Jan Suraaj Party Prashant Kishor who was sitting on fast-unto-death beneath Mahatma Gandhi’s statue at Patna’s historic Gandhi Maidan in support of the protesting Bihar Public Services Commission—combined competitive examination aspirants seeking re-examination of their preliminary test which was conducted on December 13, was arrested in the wee hours of Monday. Ever since Mr. Kishor officially founded Jan Suraaj Party on October 2, 2024 in Patna’s veterinary ground amid much fanfare and tall promises, he was looking for an opportunity to prove his claim to fame. And, the moment a section of the BPSC aspirants conducted sit-ins at Patna’s Gardanibagh area seeking re-examination of the preliminary test, allegedly on the charge of “paper leak”, Mr. Kishor reached the venue and extended his support to the protesting aspirants. Kishor would have thought to lead another students’ movement from the same place to make his mark in the State’s politics, or, as a former political strategist he, would have thought to set off another Anna type protest in Patna with the support of students but, he has failed in his strategy this time as it was on a fake ground”, observed a BPSC aspirant who, on condition of anonymity, expressed no “issue at all” in appearing for his preliminary test at a center.
