Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) founder Prashant Kishor scripted a major political upset in Bihar by defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate in the Bankipur Assembly byelection, a constituency represented for five consecutive terms by the BJP’s national president Nitin Nabin. The BJP retained Manjalpur in Gujarat while the Congress held on to Madhya Pradesh’s Datia in other Assembly byelections.
Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor on Wednesday donned the political strategist’s hat to predict a certain defeat for the ruling NDA in Bihar, citing the inability of the BJP-led coalition to finalise seats and candidates.
A former vice chancellor to retired bureaucrats, lawyers, doctors, actors, social activists and local public representatives are among the fresh faces who feature in the first list of Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) as the political organisation of poll strategist Prashant Kishor (PK) makes its electoral debut in the upcoming Bihar assembly elections.
