Speculation Over Prashant Kishor-Tejashwi Faceoff Ends As Jan Suraaj Names Raghopur Candidate

Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor on Wednesday (October 15, 2025) announced that he will not contest the Bihar Assembly polls, a decision, he claimed, was taken by the party for its greater good.

In an exclusive interview with PTI, the former political strategist also said that a “tally of less than 150 seats” for Jan Suraaj will be considered a defeat.

“If Jan Suraaj Party wins the Bihar polls, it will have a nationwide impact. The compass of national politics will point in a different direction,” Mr. Kishor asserted.
