‘Came to change system, couldn’t even change government’: Prashant Kishor on Jan Suraaj’s Bihar loss
Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Tuesday acknowledged that his party was not successful in “changing the system” during the recently-concluded Bihar Assembly polls, and was unable to “even change the government”.
The former political strategist's party had failed to win any seat in the Bihar Assembly election, despite contesting in 238 constituencies.
The party even lost its deposits in 236 seats as the candidates did not win even one-sixth of the total vote share.
“We came to Bihar three years ago to change the system and made an honest effort, but we did not succeed,” The Indian Express quoted Kishor as saying. “We couldn't even change the government, but we have changed politics to some extent.”
“I own all the blame for the election results,” he further said and apologized for the debacle.
Kishor added that he will observe a day-long fast of silence at the Gandhi Bhitiharwa Ashram on Thursday as atonement for “failing to explain to the people of Bihar the basis on which they should vote and why they should create a new system”.
However Kishor further underlined that despite winning only 3.5% of the votes the party still managed to rake up “so much media attention” which he claimed to be a sign of having pulled off something meaningful.
He added that while the party failed to gain the trust of the people of Bihar, they had not committed any crime.
“We have not committed the crime of spreading caste-based poison in society,” he claimed. “We have not played Hindu-Muslim politics in Bihar. We have not committed the crime of dividing people in the name of religion. We have not committed the crime of giving money to the poor, innocent people of Bihar and buying their votes.”
Clarifying his claims of quitting politics if Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) wins more than 25 seats, Kishor asked reporters what position he was holding that he should resign from.
However he added that he would “definitely quit” politics if the National Democratic Alliance government fulfils its poll promise and gives Rs 2 lakh each to Rs 1.5 crore women under self-employment initiatives.
“People who don't get the money in six months' time can come to Jan Suraaj, we will fight to ensure they get the amount,” he said.
Kishor had launched the party on October 2, 2024, saying that it would seek to end political helplessness in Bihar by creating a united alternative party for its citizens.
Ahead of the election, there had been speculation that Kishor himself could contest the election. However, he announced on October 15 that he would not contest any seat.
The ruling National Democratic Alliance swept the Bihar Assembly elections on Friday, bagging 202 of the 243 total seats, according to the Election Commission data.
The tally of the Opposition Mahagathbandhan was 35 seats.
