New political experiment changed the electoral environment
The special thing about this election was that Jansuraj Party has given a new direction to the electoral environment of entire Bihar. In the last few years, Prashant Kishore reached every village through ‘Jansuraj Yatra’ and worked deeply on education, health, unemployment, farming, administration and local issues. His model has now been directly implemented in the electoral arena, and as a result a new trust seems to be emerging among the public.
Political analysts are also believing that Election 2025 can usher in a new era in the politics of Bihar, where apart from traditional politics, an alternative leadership can also make its place.
Claim on all 238 seats, claim of clean politics
This time Jansuraj Party has fielded its candidates on 238 seats. This is a clear indication that the party is in no mood to confine itself to any limited experiment. The party’s candidates include faces from diverse fields such as academicians, doctors, former bureaucrats, lawyers, artists and social workers. Prashant Kishor himself is not contesting the elections, but has been active across the state to establish the concept of a ‘new politics’.
PK’s big claim: We will either be on the throne or on the floor
Prashant Kishor has clearly said on many occasions that his party’s performance in this election will be decisive. In his words, “Jansuraj will either emerge as a huge force or will be completely rejected.”
This clear and risky political line has raised the curiosity of both the public and analysts. As the counting progresses, it will be interesting to see how accurate this claim of PK proves to be.
