KKN Gurugram Desk | On April 11, 2025, political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party held its inaugural ‘Bihar Badlav Rally’ at Gandhi Maidan in Patna, marking a significant step in the party’s campaign for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
Key Highlights:
-
Event Name: Bihar Badlav RallyDate: April 11, 2025
-
Location: Gandhi Maidan, Patna Organized by: Jan Suraaj Party
-
Led by: Prashant Kishor
The rally, themed ‘Faisla to Gandhi Maidan Patna Mein Hi Hoga’ (The decision will be made at Gandhi Maidan, Patna), aimed to signal the party’s readiness to contest the elections independently, without aligning with existing political alliances.
Preparation and Participation:
Despite challenges posed by inclement weather, including heavy rains that disrupted initial arrangements, the rally saw significant participation from party members and supporters across Bihar. Accommodations and refreshments were arranged near the Bihar Satyagraha Ashram for attendees arriving from various districts.
Prashant Kishor’s Address:
In his address, Prashant Kishor emphasized the need for systemic change in Bihar’s politics, focusing on issues like corruption, unemployment, and migration. He highlighted the party’s commitment to grassroots engagement, noting his extensive outreach across 12 districts and plans to continue such initiatives.
Political Context:
The rally positions Jan Suraaj as a potential third front in Bihar’s political landscape, traditionally dominated by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance). Recent surveys indicate that while established leaders like Tejashwi Yadav and Nitish Kumar maintain significant support, Prashant Kishor’s appeal is growing, particularly among voters seeking alternatives to traditional politics.
With the Bihar Assembly elections approaching, Jan Suraaj’s performance will be closely watched. The party’s ability to convert public engagement into electoral success remains to be seen, but the ‘Bihar Badlav Rally’ marks a definitive step in its political journey.
