On October 2, Gandhi Jayanti, Prashant Kishore formally became a leader from a political strategist. Prashant Kishore formed his new party. The name of the party is Jansuraj Party. More than fifty thousand people from all over Bihar gathered at the Veterinary College Ground in Patna. Prashant Kishore announced that his party will neither adopt leftist nor rightist ideology, it will only follow the path of humanity, will make Bihar the number one state, and will work for the respect of Biharis. There will be photos of both Bapu and Baba Saheb on the party flag. Prashant Kishore said that if his party forms the government in Bihar, then within an hour they will remove the liquor ban, build schools with the money received as tax from liquor, and educate children because only good education can get rid of all the problems. Can. Prashant Kishore will neither be the party president nor a contender for the post of Chief Minister. Retired IFS officer Manoj Bharti will be the acting president of Jansuraj Party. All major decisions of Prashant Kishore’s party will be taken by the leadership council.
Two years ago, on October 2, Prashant Kishore started the Janasuraj Yatra from Champaran. In 2 years, his journey went to 5 and a half thousand villages of Bihar, after visiting 17 districts, Prashant Kishore connected people with himself. After this Jansuraj Party was announced. Jansuraj Party will field candidates on all 242 seats in the next elections in Bihar. Along with Prashant Kishore, former Union Minister Devendra Yadav, former MP Munazir Hasan, former MLC Rambali Chandravanshi, Karpoori Thakur’s granddaughter Jagriti Thakur, Manoj Bharti were also present on the stage. There are many experienced officers in Prashant Kishore’s team, who have left good jobs and joined him. Anand Mishra, the flamboyant IPS officer posted in Assam, is originally from Bihar. He is called Singham in Assam. Now Anand Mishra is a part of Team Prashant Kishore.
There is a stir among the political parties of Bihar due to the entry of Prashant Kishore. Everyone’s eyes are on Prashant Kishore’s strategy. JD-U General Secretary Ashok Chaudhary said that Prashant Kishor used to contest elections by taking money and now he will contest elections himself to make money. Union Minister and LJP President Chirag Paswan said, anyone can contest elections, but the decision is taken by the public. Lalu Yadav’s daughter Misa Bharti called Prashant Kishore’s party the B team of BJP. After listening to the leaders of BJP, RJD and JDU, one thing is clearly visible that everyone is upset with the entry of Prashant Kishore. Prashant Kishor is not a new name in politics, but is new as a leader. He has not suddenly jumped into politics. He has entered the field after scouring every village of Bihar for two years, hence he knows the pulse of the people, his vision is clear, he knows the path and the goal as well. Prashant Kishore organized a party, he did well. Bihar needs a new thinking. There is a need for a leader who speaks clearly and truthfully.
The way Prashant Kishore has prepared the process of taking decisions and selecting candidates in the party is also impressive. I don’t agree with just one thing about him. Prashant Kishor saying that I will not become the Chief Minister is not a right idea. If he really wants to fight for Bihar and Biharis to get their rights, then he will have to come on the front foot and play, there is no place for a non-playing captain in politics. It will not work to say that I will not be there, the party will choose someone else, I will walk on foot again, this will create confusion in the minds of the people of Bihar. Prashant Kishor should give a clear option to the people of Bihar. Should declare himself a candidate for the post of Chief Minister. People should have a clear choice whether they consider Prashant Kishor as their leader or not, whether they want to see him as the Chief Minister or not. Wherever Prashant Kishor has gone in the last two years, people have listened to him and trusted him. He is seen as the leader of Jan Suraj. So how can anyone else be a leader? Prashant Kishore does not have the option to step back from responsibility. He is the face of Jan Suraj and the people of Bihar will decide whether they like this face or not. (Rajat Sharma)
