Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj releases first list of 51 candidates for Bihar assembly polls

The former strategist-turned-politician, who will be contesting the assembly elections for the first time, is trying to portray Jan Suraaj as a third alternative in Bihar, which is dominated by a two-party system.

The list of candidates include: Drig Narain Prasad from Valmiki Nagar and Sunil Kumar from Lauriya in West Champaran districts, while Awdhesh Ram will contest from Harsidhi and Dr Lal Babu Prasad from Dhaka in East Champaran.

Addressing a press conference here, party national president Udai Singh said Kishor is likely to hit the campaign trail on October 11 from Raghopur, the constituency of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.
