Prashant Kishor, leader of the Jan Suraj Party, has hinted that he may contest the Bihar Assembly elections. He is considering two potential constituencies: Raghopur or Karahar.
Kishor made these remarks during a Q&A session with a digital news channel in Bihar. He said that if Chief Minister Nitish Kumar decides to contest, he too will join the race and fight from the same seat. Kishor noted that Nitish rarely contests elections, but if he does, Kishor will challenge him directly.
Kishor explained that he is considering Raghopur, Tejashwi Yadav’s constituency, or his own birthplace, Karahar in Rohtas. He clarified that the final decision will be made by the Jan Suraj Party. However, he emphasized that he is prepared to contest if Nitish enters the fray.
Kishor called Nitish a “leader of the past.” He pointed out that Nitish has not contested elections in the past 20 years. Kishor added that a leader should contest from either their birthplace or their workplace. His statement has led many to believe that he could run for office in both Raghopur and Karahar.
