Bihar polls: Early sunset for Jan Suraaj? 3 key battles facing the 'challenger'
AI Summary
Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj party is facing significant challenges ahead of Bihar's upcoming assembly elections. The party has been plagued by candidate desertions and worker discontent, with at least three candidates withdrawing from the polls before a single vote is cast. Several high-profile leaders have also joined the BJP, including state spokesperson Amit Kumar Paswan and founding member Karmveer Paswan. Prashant Kishor has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party and Union minister Amit Shah of coercing his party's candidates out of fear of losing the elections. Workers are upset with the party's choice of candidates, feeling deceived by "parachute candidates" who were promised tickets but not selected. The party is also facing criticism for being seen as a "B team" of both the Mahagathbandhan and NDA, accused of cutting into others' votes.
