Ritesh Pandey and IPS JP Singh Join Jan Suraj Party: The political ground of Bihar has started to heat up once again, but this time the wave that has arisen is neither due to any scam nor any coalition. This time it is a matter of a uniform officer who was the keeper of the law and a singer, whose song is on the entire UP-Bihar. Both have now landed on the pitch of politics under the captaincy of Prashant Kishore. Yes, we are talking about former IPS officer Jayaprakash Singh and Bhojpuri star Ritesh Pandey, who has given a shock in Bihar politics by joining Jan Suraj Party. This is the same people who have been standing for the last few years, which Prashant Kishore has been standing in Bihar for the last few years. But now that there is a person on one side in Jan Suraj who can ever become a DGP and on the other side there is a face whose voice beats millions of hearts, then political equations are really changing.
JP Singh becomes ‘field officer’ for change from IPS
Jayaprakash Singh, who grew up in a small village in Chapra, is not just an officer, but an example of struggle. After studying at Ekma’s government school, worked in the army and then passed the UPSC directly. After so many years of service, when he reached the post of ADG, everyone felt that the next DGP had to be made. But he chose service, not power. And that too, such a service, in which neither the uniform is awe nor the government bungalow has to stand among the public, to face every question. When JP Singh joined Jan Suraj and said, “Bihar needs a system surgery, not just security,” he probably said what crores of Biharites think today.
‘Who’ from ‘Hello who’? Travel up to: Ritesh Pandey’s big bet
On the other hand, Ritesh Pandey – A name that is called the Youth Icon of the Bhojpuri music industry. His superhit song ‘Hello Kaun’ became not just a music track, but became a social phenomena. More than 100 crore views, a tremendous craze on millions of stage shows and social media. But now Ritesh has come out of the world of songs and has entered the politics of votes. “Want employment, new Bihar” – When he joined Jan Suraj while singing this, it became clear that this time he wants to win hearts with reforms, not just notes. Ritesh Pandey has already indicated that Bhabhua or Karghar may land in the field. Looking at his star power, it is believed that young voters will definitely listen to him – this time not in the song, in the manifesto.
Masterstroke of Prashant Kishore’s strategy?
Prashant Kishore i.e. PK, the person who is the mind hidden behind more than half of the country’s electoral victories. But when he created his own political platform in Bihar, many people called it ‘dream’. But now that he has taken the field with an IPS officer and a celebrity, then the reality of this dream has started appearing. PK believes that “not just a leader, a hero needs. Bihar needs a vision, not a face.” Perhaps thinking this, he has chosen two such faces, one who tried to change by staying within the system, and the other who made his point to crores of hearts through art.
Is this a wind of change or just electoral noise?
Now the biggest question is – can Jan Suraj Party, can really bring a stir in the politics of Bihar with these two new faces? Or it will also come out the same old story-stars will come, give speeches and then gradually be lost in the fog of politics? But this time the wind is somewhat different. Ritesh Pandey’s fans are already getting “New Bihar” hashtag trend on social media. At the same time, JP Singh’s decision is being seen as a ‘Respect for Brave Officer’. PK’s strategy seems to be to connect the voter with true faces, not with false promises. And perhaps this will also be his real test. The politics of Bihar is now slowly on its boil. Amidst the old stories of Lalu-Nitish-Tejasvi, what history will the new team of PK create, it will tell time. But it is certain that when Mike and uniforms speak together, Bihar will listen to it and will also answer.
