PRASHANT KISHOR

Prashant Kishor's political initiative, 'Jan Suraj', is making headlines in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections. The campaign has released its initial list of candidates, with Chanchal Singh being nominated from the Raghopur assembly seat. This move is significant as Raghopur is currently represented by Tejashwi Yadav, the leader of the RJD and a prominent figure in Bihar politics. While Kishor has stated that he will not contest elections directly against Tejashwi Yadav, the nomination from Raghopur indicates Jan Suraj's intention to contest in key constituencies. Furthermore, internal surveys within the NDA have reportedly assessed Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav, and Prashant Kishor's political standings ahead of the elections. Kishor's strategy for Jan Suraj reportedly focuses on 'politics of caste but not casteism', aiming to integrate caste dynamics into his campaign without perpetuating casteism.
