Before the Bihar assembly elections 2025, Jan Suraj will release the final list of its candidates on the party Navratri. The biggest suspense is whether Prashant Kishore will contest the election himself or will only become a star campaigner. Know the impact of Jan Suraj’s strategy and PK’s decision.
Prashant Kishore’s Jan Suraj Party has clarified its strategy before Bihar assembly elections 2025. The party will release the final list of its candidates around Navratri starting on 22 September. Jan Suraj Party national president Uday Singh confirmed that the party would contest all the 243 assembly seats alone. But the biggest question is whether Prashant Kishore himself will contest the election or not?
Preparation for the candidate list till Navratri
Party state president Manoj Bharti said that Jan Suraj started electoral preparations from January 2025 itself. The first phase of the candidate selection process from 2 to 22 August has been completed. Now on the auspicious occasion of Navratri, the party will announce the names of its last candidates. In this process, the party’s weakness and strength have been revealed. Now we are also talking to people from panchayat and block level and taking feedback on candidate selection.
Prashant Kishore suspense: Will fight or not?
The biggest discussion is whether Prashant Kishore will contest elections personally? Uday Singh gave an interesting reply to this. He said, “Where Prashant Kishore will fight, it is not a question. Whether or not, it is a big question for Jan Suraj.” Uday Singh said that Prashant Kishore is the party’s architect and the most prominent face. If PK had to contest elections, one will have to be tied in one area for a few days. The party will take decisions on this. This dilemma can be understood. If Prashant Kishore contests from one seat, he will not be able to campaign by going to the remaining 242 seats as a star campaigner.
Pacific Kishore’s previous hints
Recently Prashant Kishore indicated to contest the election. He had said that he can contest from Karghar seat of Rohtas district or Raghopur assembly seat of Tejashwi Yadav. PK also said that if Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had entered the electoral fray, he would have contested elections against him as well. However, he also clarified that “I am not above the party. The party will decide only when I contest.”
Candidate Selection Process
Uday Singh said that the tickets will be available only to those people who have contributed to the organization. However, there may also be some exceptions. He said that new people are also coming influenced by Jan Suraj Party, but priority will be given to those workers who have been with the party from the beginning. Uday Singh said, ‘We have to choose one of many good people. So it is taking time. ‘ The party is now taking feedback from the panchayat and block level so that the best candidates can be selected.
Battle of fight alone on 243 seats
The Jan Suraj Party has made it clear that it will not form an alliance with any party. This is an adventure strategy contrary to the traditional coalition politics of Bihar. In such a situation, it can be challenging for the new party to field effective candidates in all seats. On the other hand, he can also get the support of angry voters from coalition politics.
