Prashant Kishor, chief of Jan Suraaj Party and a poll strategist-turned-politician, claims that the primary contest in Bihar's upcoming elections will be between his party and the NDA, with the Mahagathbandhan led by Tejashwi Yadav trailing behind. Speaking to ANI, Kishor asserts that voters are moving away from fear-driven politics dominated by Nitish Kumar-BJP and Lalu Yadav-RJD, towards a new caste-neutral alternative focused on youth. The elections will take place in two phases on November 6 and 11, with counting scheduled for November 14. Notably, Kishor has decided not to contest the election personally despite preparing for Jan Suraaj’s debut in Bihar politics.
