Prashant Kishor will be CM face of Jan Suraaj in Bihar assembly elections, says party
PATNA: Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) national president and former Purnea MP Uday Singh alias Pappu Singh on Thursday revealed that Prashant Kishor would be the chief ministerial candidate of the party in the upcoming Bihar assembly election. Kishor is the founder of JSP. JSP's national president's statement is in contrast of Kishor's stand on the issue as the latter has repeatedly said that he was not in the race for the CM's post. It has to be seen how Kishor responds to his party chief's statement as the former is currently on 'Bihar Badalo Yatra', ahead of the assembly elections. Singh claimed that a wave of change was sweeping entire Bihar, and it could also be felt easily, adding that people from different villages were joining JSP. 'People are posing faith in the leadership of Kishor', he said, adding JSP was more a movement aimed at reforming society than a political party. He alleged that all political parties were only interested in power, as the state's deplorable condition was also due to it. Singh also attacked Bihar chief minister and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar by claiming that migration from the state had not stopped despite the JD (U) leader being at the helm for the last 20 years.

Prashant Kishor as Jan Suraaj Party's CM face
Jan Suraaj Party's newly elected national president and two-term former MP from Purnea Uday Singh created a flutter in the state's political circles when he revealed during a media interaction that Prashant Kishor would be the party's chief ministerial candidate. This is remarkable because Kishor has stated emphatically on numerous occasions that he doesn't harbour any aspiration to become the CM and that he entered politics just to bring about a positive change in the state. So, how did Kishor change his mind? And more important, since the party will go solo in the Assembly polls later this year, how will the move affect its fortunes? No tilak? No Hindu: Saraogi on Tejashwi Senior BJP leader and Bihar minister Sanjay Saraogi mounted a blistering attack on RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav during a recent media interaction, calling into question his Hinduness. Saraogi pointed out how the RJD leader had reportedly wiped off the tilak off his forehead shortly after leaving the temple premises during his visit to the Ahilya Mahotsav in Mithila. He alleged that Tejashwi and his ilk only visit a temple for optics. The saffron party leader insisted to the press that the Yadav scion is a 'fake Hindu' and that he cannot be trusted at any cost. But he didn't stop there. He also claimed that Tejashwi has lost his credibility as a politician.
