NEW DELHI: Jan Suraaj chief Prashant Kishore on Sunday announced that his party will contest on all 243 seats in Bihar assembly elections, scheduled in 2025.
Poll strategist-turned-politician Kishore also said that his party will field 40 female candidates.
“Jan Suraaj is fighting on 243 seats in 2025. At least 40 female candidates will be there. In 2030, at least 70-80 female candidates will be there.Till the time females will become economically independent, they cannot get equality. The females should get loan on 4 pc for earning their livelihood,” Kishore said.
“It should be given on government guarantee. When our govt will be formed, people will not have to migrate from Bihar for low income. I urge people to vote not just by seeing the leaders’ sons or daughters but by seeing their sons and daughters,” he added.
Meanwhile, Kishore also ridiculed RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s recent criticism of Nitish Kumar-led Bihar Government and claimed it was laughable.
“Comments can be made if Tejashwi Yadav speaks on caste, extortion, liquor mafia, crime but if Tejashwi Yadav discusses development model, it is laughable. They have been in power for the last 15 years, he does not know what GDP and GDP growth are, and is talking about the development story of Bihar,” he said.
“As far as crime is concerned, when Tejwashwi Yadav was the Deputy CM six months ago, Bihar was Switzerland for him and after six months Bihar has become a gutter. If today Nitish Kumar joins Mahagathbandhan, Bihar will again start looking great to him,” he added.
Prashant Kishor is set to launch his new party, Jan Suraaj, on October 2, the 155th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. This party will emerge from Jan Suraaj Abhiyan, which has been mainly focused on Bihar.
To prepare for the launch, eight state-level meetings are being held across Bihar, involving more than 150,000 officials connected with the campaign. These meetings will address the party’s formation, leadership, constitution, and key priorities.
