Jan Suraaj Party Chief Prashant Kishor visited Bihar’s Gaya, where he met party workers and spoke to the media at a private hotel. Kishor strongly criticized the political landscape in Bihar and targeted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He alleged that Nitish Kumar’s move to the Rajya Sabha had been prearranged by BJP leaders. Despite the NDA winning over 200 seats in the 2025 Assembly elections, Kishor claimed that Nitish Kumar would not retain his position as Bihar’s Chief Minister.
Kishor accused the BJP of using Nitish Kumar as a front during the elections and asserted that the BJP would now appoint its own Chief Minister in Bihar. Mocking the BJP, Kishor suggested that the party would govern Bihar from Gujarat by installing its own leader as Chief Minister. He stated that sending Nitish Kumar to the Rajya Sabha was part of this plan. Responding to emotional social media posts from the Chief Minister’s account, Kishor alleged that these posts were crafted by Nitish Kumar’s officials and close associates.
Kishor raised concerns about Nitish Kumar’s health, both physical and mental, casting doubt on his ability to continue as Chief Minister. He criticized the Chief Minister’s Samriddhi Yatra, questioning its true beneficiaries. Kishor claimed that the Yatra only favored a select few individuals rather than benefiting the wider population of Bihar. Highlighting ongoing issues of unemployment and migration in Bihar, Kishor emphasized the need for local employment opportunities to prevent youth from seeking work outside the state.
Kishor further alleged mismanagement of public funds during elections, warning of potential consequences for the people of Bihar in the coming years. Through his statements in Gaya, Kishor escalated his critique of Nitish Kumar and the BJP, labeling the Samriddhi Yatra as a political maneuver benefiting a handful of leaders rather than the citizens of Bihar.
