Ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly election, Jan Suraj chief Prashant Kishor has been embroiled in controversy over two voter ID cards. The claim that one card is from Bihar and the other from West Bengal has sparked political uproar. The Election Commission has launched an investigation into the matter, which could increase PK’s troubles.
Meanwhile, the Jan Suraj Party has also made a commitment.
Jan Suraaj Party did not ally with any other party before the Bihar election and won’t do so after the polls either, its leader Prashant Kishor said at an event in Patna. As an commitment, he also gave it in writing. He also said, “I can see two probabilities. People have seen Jan Suraaj as an alternative, but voting requires a leap of faith. People need a leap of faith because of the prolonged phase of hopelessness.” He added that Jan Suraaj will win either fewer than 10 or more than 150 seats.
Kishor was then asked if he would consider an alliance if the results threw up a fractured mandate or a hung assembly. “If a situation comes where the government cannot be formed without us, I know people will switch. I won’t be able to stop them,” he said. Kishor blamed this on the “lure of Lakshmi (money) and fear of (central agency) CBI”.
