WATCH | Prashant Kishor On Bihar Elections, Women Voters & The Caste-Class Shift

Bihar election is PK바카라™s most significant battle. And it comes with many challenges. Critics and rivals allege he is the Bharatiya Janata Party바카라™s B-team, working hand-in-glove with the party and only contesting polls to split the Opposition vote.

Former election strategist Prashant Kishor was always sure about one thing바카라”the flag of his political party would have Bhimrao Ambedkar along with Mahatma Gandhi. When he launched his party on October 2, 2024, he said Jan Suraaj will contest all 243 seats in Bihar elections. He is attempting to convert a caste-based election into a class-based one. He바카라™s been highlighting the lack of development in the last 35 years under Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav.

PK claims that the Bihar Assembly election contest will be triangular. The massive turnout at his rallies has become a warning signal for many political parties, especially since Jan Suraaj appears to be focusing on the Muslim and women's vote. He says, Change is inevitable. Nitish Kumar will not become Chief Minister again under any circumstances. And if Jan Suraaj forms the government, it will stop migration within a year and lift the liquor ban within minutes. But there바카라™s also the recurring question: Is Prashant Kishor the BJP바카라™s B-team?
