Political strategist Prashant Kishor formally announced the launch of his political party, Jan Suraaj, on 2nd October 2024. The move comes ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, where Kishor hopes to make a significant impact. The party’s platform is built around the promise of delivering genuine governance, moving away from what he described as “empty slogans” that have dominated Indian politics in recent years.
Kishor, known for his role in crafting successful election campaigns for multiple political parties, stated that Jan Suraaj is a response to the growing disillusionment among the electorate. He criticized both the ruling party and the opposition for failing to address the real issues faced by ordinary citizens. The party aims to focus on development, education, healthcare, and employment, which Kishor believes are the pressing concerns for Bihar.
The launch event drew a sizable crowd, with many curious to see whether Kishor can translate his political acumen into electoral success. His reputation as a kingmaker in Indian politics has already made Jan Suraaj a topic of national interest. While it remains to be seen how the party will fare in the upcoming elections, Kishor’s entry has certainly added a new dimension to Bihar’s political landscape.
