Kishor said no one knows who will become Bihar’s next chief minister after Nitish Kumar. However, he believes the central leadership may influence the choice. He hinted that the next leader could follow policies linked to Gujarat.

He also criticized Nitish Kumar’s political decisions in recent years. Kishor said a leader rarely steps aside while holding strong support in the assembly. According to him, such steps usually happen due to pressure or health concerns.

Speaking again about the Bihar Next CM Gujarat Connection, Kishor warned about Bihar’s lack of industries. He said many young people still leave the state to find work. Without major industrial growth, migration may continue for many years.

Jan Suraj files petition in High Court against Bihar election results, claiming that the state government violated the Model Code of Conduct. The party alleged that financial benefits given to women under a government scheme influenced voters during the election period.

Party leaders said the scheme offered ₹10,000 to women just before elections, which they believe affected voting decisions. They argued this makes a strong legal case for cancelling the results.

Earlier, the Supreme Court refused to hear the matter and advised the party to approach the High Court instead. The court also said it cannot cancel an entire election based on a plea from a political party.

Jan Suraj had contested all seats in the election but failed to win any.

He alleged that policies may be shaped to benefit Gujarat instead of Bihar. According to him, this approach could slow industrial growth in Bihar and push young people to migrate to other states for low-paying jobs.

Kishor also reacted to Nishant Kumar’s possible entry into politics. He welcomed the move but questioned the growing trend of political families preparing their children for leadership roles.

Meanwhile, Kishor continues his Bihar Navnirman campaign. He is visiting different districts, meeting workers, and strengthening his organization as part of his future political plans.

Speaking in Nawada, Prashant Kishor claimed that leaders across parties are promoting their children in politics. Prashant Kishor targets Nitish Kumar again, saying Nishant Kumar’s entry shows the same trend of family-based politics.

He added that people should question Nishant’s political experience before giving him major responsibility. Kishor asked what background or achievements justify such a big role.

Kishor also urged Bihar voters to think about their children’s future instead of supporting such politics. He warned that ignoring these issues may force future generations to migrate for jobs.

Meanwhile, Nishant Kumar has become active in public events after joining JD(U), increasing speculation about his political future.

Speaking to locals, Kishor mocked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said the CM might leave Bihar and “go to Delhi or even England.” His remark highlighted what he called the growing gap between political leaders and citizens facing unemployment and migration problems.

Kishor also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. He said Bihar voters supported these leaders with hope for development, but the state still struggles with jobs and economic growth.

The strategist-turned-politician said the government promised jobs for one crore people but has not delivered the expected results so far. He added that migration continues because many young people cannot find work in Bihar.

Speaking to the media, Lalan Singh repeated that JDU does not need RCP Singh. He said the party has grown stronger under Nitish Kumar’s leadership and does not require leaders who left in the past. Singh highlighted that RCP Singh’s and Kishor’s earlier predictions about JD(U)’s poor performance in elections did not come true.

RCP Singh had joined Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party before the last Bihar polls. There were rumors he might return to JD(U) after the election results. Lalan Singh rejected all such reports, emphasizing that the party is focused on future growth without relying on former leaders.

He also praised Nitish Kumar for steering JD(U) to a better performance than expected. According to Singh, the party’s success proves that it does not depend on external advisors or returning leaders.

Pandey joined the Prashant Kishor-led Jan Suraj Party ahead of the Bihar polls. He contested the election from the Kargahar constituency. However, he suffered a heavy defeat and failed to make an impact at the ballot box.

Sources say the Prashant Kishor–Priyanka Gandhi meeting took place last week at Sonia Gandhi’s residence, 10 Janpath. The two leaders reportedly spoke for nearly an hour.

Both parties have played down the importance of the meeting. When asked about it in Parliament, Priyanka Gandhi reacted lightly and asked whether this was “also news.” Still, political circles are reading deeper signals into the interaction.

The meeting matters because Prashant Kishor once shared a close working relationship with the Congress. After leaving the JD(U) in 2021, he joined the Congress and drafted a revival plan ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Differences over authority later led to a bitter split.

Since then, Kishor has openly criticised the Congress. His Jan Suraj Party also faced a crushing defeat in Bihar, failing to win a single seat, with most candidates losing their deposits.

Congress too struggled in Bihar, winning only six seats out of 61 contested. Against this backdrop, the Prashant Kishor–Priyanka Gandhi meeting has fuelled talk of a possible political reset, even as both sides remain silent.

Kishor said Jan Suraj contested 238 out of 243 seats but failed to win even one. The party’s vote share stayed between 2 and 3 percent, and most candidates lost their deposits. He felt the final voting numbers did not match the positive feedback he received during his long Jan Suraj Yatra.

In an interview, Kishor said he sensed that something unusual happened during the elections. He claimed that unknown forces influenced the results, and some new parties, barely known to voters, received unexpected support. He admitted he had no proof but said several patterns looked strange.

Kishor also accused the NDA of giving money to thousands of women voters. He said women received ₹10,000 before voting and were promised ₹2 lakh in total if they supported the NDA. He said he had never seen a government distribute money to nearly 50,000 women in this manner.
