The Bihar political crisis has taken a new turn after the NDA’s big victory in the state elections. While most Grand Alliance leaders have stayed silent, Prashant Kishor (PK) has stepped forward and taken the lead. The Bihar political crisis grew deeper as Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi remained absent from public events.
PK spoke strongly after the defeat. He said Jan Suraj did not perform as expected, even though it secured 3.34% vote share and finished third in 129 seats. He accepted the result but promised to continue his fight. He also challenged the NDA government, saying he would quit politics if it failed to deliver its promise of giving ₹2 lakh to 15 million women.
PK announced a helpline for women and said his team would help them claim their rights. On November 20th, Nitish Kumar’s cabinet will take oath at Gandhi Maidan, while PK will observe a 24-hour fast at Gandhi Ashram in West Champaran. His choice of location highlights his message of struggle and self-discipline.
With Tejashwi busy in family issues and Rahul Gandhi staying away, PK has become the most active opposition face. His sharp statements and clear stand show he is ready to fill the opposition space in Bihar.
