Bihar Politics: Speculation Arises Over Prashant Kishor Aligning with RJD or JDU Before Elections as Per Jan Suraaj Chief's Remarks
Revamped Bihar Politics Discourse:
Get ready for a shakeup, folks! Jan Suraaj Party chief Prashant Kishor has made it clear that there's no alliance on the cards with any political parties, but those yearning for change are more than welcome to hop on board. In an exclusive chat with IANS, Kishor dropped a bombshell, announcing the impending launch of a state-wide signature campaign on May 11. The focus? Three crucial welfare matters plaguing Bihar.
Unfolding the details of this bold move, Kishor revealed that the campaign will take a grassroots approach, hitting every household across the state. The campaign will be questioning the government's track record on three critical promises:
- Whether the 94 lakh families, identified in the caste-based census, have received the promised Rs 2 lakh each.
- If Mahadalit and Dalit families have been handed over the 3 decimal plots of land they were promised.
- Whether the promised digitisation of land records has been competently carried out.
On May 11, Prashant Kishor will kick off his journey at Harnath, convening a people-driven campaign voice to voice, home to home. If the public agrees with their concerns, gathered signatures will become a part of this powerful movement. However, if the government confidently asserts these promises have been fulfilled, why resist a beloved check-up by the citizens, right?
What about political alliances in the future, you ask? Kishor swiftly nixed those ideas, emphasizing that Jan Suraaj will only align with the people. No partnerships with parties or political organizations, no exceptions. Unlike traditional parties, the Jan Suraaj Party will stand independently, fighting for change on all 243 seats.
Prashant Kishor's critics might point to his vocal opposition to political polarisation and his commitment to fostering an atmosphere free of divisive policies. In the past, Kishor has also demurely hinted at creating new job opportunities in Bihar, intending to combat unemployment and manage migration issues.
In the shifting Bihar political landscape, young leaders such as Tejashwi Yadav, Prashant Kishor, and Kanhaiya Kumar have taken center stage, raising questions about unemployment, migration, and the complex debates over Hindutva and social justice. However, a clear stance on digitization of land records or land allotments for marginalized communities is not evident in public discourse thus far.
Nonetheless, the Jan Suraaj Party's laser-focus on the three welfare issues and their commitment to a people-driven approach leaves little doubt that they mean business. Change is in the air, Bihar! Keep your eyes on the prize!
- Prashant Kishor, the Jan Suraaj Party chief, has made no alliance with any political parties but invites change-seekers to join him, launching a state-wide signature campaign on May 11 targeting three major welfare issues in Bihar.
- The signature campaign, led by Kishor, aims to hold the government accountable for its promises on three significant issues, which include the distribution of promised financial aid to marginalized caste families, land allotment to Dalit and Mahadalit families, and competent digitization of land records.
- If the public agrees with the concerns raised by the Jan Suraaj Party, the collected signatures will be part of a powerful movement, but the government is invited to confidently assert the fulfillment of these promises and welcome a check-up by the citizens.
- The Jan Suraaj Party, unlike traditional parties, vows to operate independently, aiming to contest all 243 seats and addressing concerns outside of political polarization, committing to fostering an atmosphere free of divisive policies, and creating new employment opportunities to manage unemployment and migration issues.
