Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj party moves Supreme Court challenging Bihar elections, seeks fresh polls

The Supreme Court on Friday (February 6, 2026) heard a plea by the Jan Suraaj Party (JSP), which had accused the Bihar Government of violating the Model Code by transferring ₹10,000 each to women under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana after the announcement of the 2025 Assembly poll schedule.

The JSP withdrew their petition from the Supreme Court, which allowed it to move the Patna High Court with its grievances.

The court said that it cannot issue an omnibus direction to set aside the entire Bihar Assembly election, that too at the insistance of a political party.
