Mainly active in Bihar, Prashant Kishor has been planning to hold eight separate state-level meetings of more than 1.5 lakh officials linked to the campaign.
In these meetings, the process of formation of the party, its leadership, constitution and priorities of the party will be decided with all the officials, Prashant Kishor’s organisation announced on in a press brief.
A few days ago, Prashant Kishor claimed that around one crore people would join Jan Suraaj when it becomes a full-fledged party.
Kishor first made this announcement during a meeting with Jan Suraaj Campaign Committee members, urging them to unite Bihar, which he said is divided by castes.
Kishor said his initiative has started yielding results and called on members to educate the masses if they want to change the system.
Kishor also announced plans to contest all 243 assembly seats in Bihar to transform the state’s political landscape.
“We have come with the mission to change the face of Bihar and not to win 20-25 seats. Just have patience for two years,” he said.
Kishor said among the three major parties in the state, the RJD is the most nervous. “Just listen to me… Khali lantern bachega, kerosene nahin (You will see that lantern will be left with no kerosene to be lit)”, he said, adding once minority communities join the Jan Suraaj campaign, the lantern would be extinguished.
In 2022, a whopping 97.26% of Jan Suraaj members in West Champaran district cast their ballot with ‘yes’, giving Prashant Kishor the thumbs up to form a political party in Bihar.
The democratic exercise was undertaken at the district convention marking the culmination of the West Champaran leg of Kishor’s “padyatra” on the MJK College grounds.
