Prashant Kishor

Kishor recently says that he would not contest the polls, and would instead focus on his party's organisational work.

Prashant Kishor had announced that he will contest the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, which are scheduled to be held in two phases on November 6 and 11

He also claimed that there was "complete chaos" in NDA, and it was still unclear which seats the BJP would contest and where the JD(U) wants to field its candidates.

"The party has decided that I should not contest the assembly polls. And therefore, the party has announced another candidate from Raghopur, against Tejashwi Yadav, says Jan Suraaj chief.

Political strategist-turned-politician Kishor was present among other party leaders while releasing the list. The party had released its first of 51 candidates on October 9.

Kishor, a former poll strategist, has been dropping hints that he might contest the seat himself. The second list is expected to end the suspense over whether Kishor would make his poll debut from Tejashwi's home turf Raghopur.

The Assembly elections in Bihar will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, while votes will be counted on November 14, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar announced in Delhi earlier in the day.

Speculation over a potential tie-up between Paswan and Kishor marks the latest twist in Bihar’s political scene, even as seat-sharing talks between the LJP and the ruling BJP continue.

"I am saying it with full confidence that this will be the last election of Nitish Kumar," said Prashant Kishor.

Tejashwi Yadav’s detailed post calling November 14 Bihar’s 'rebirth day' follows EC’s announcement of two-phase state polls on November 6 and 11.

With the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan locked in a close contest, welfare schemes, not rhetoric, could tilt the outcome in a large number of seats, the survey shows.

I would rather die than side with corrupt politicians,” he declared, accusing both the BJP-JD(U)-led NDA and the RJD-Congress-led Grand Alliance of misusing public money.

Defying expectations, Nitish Kumar's JD(U) is projected to script a major comeback in the coming Bihar elections with the NDA looking set to retain power in the state, new opinion poll projections reveal.

Prashant Kishor also accused Nitish Kumar of compromising with crime and corruption and pointed to "murder charges" against BJP leaders Samrat Choudhary and Dilip Jaiswal.

“The media pays him too much attention because he is the son of a former prime minister. I have been travelling through the length and breadth of Bihar for three years, but not many are talking about it," he said.

Prashant Kishor has accused the RJD of using the ‘M’ factor of the ‘M-Y’ combination to bring Yadavs to power in the state and neglecting the Muslim community. But is the charge resonating?

The saffron party's remark comes a day after Kishor questioned the academic credentials of senior BJP leader and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.

Unemployment and Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls have emerged as the key issues that respondents said they would vote on, a new survey on Bihar elections has found.

His remarks came while addressing a gathering in Kishanganj district. Making a big statement, Kishor said he would retire from politics if Nitish Kumar’s party crossed the mark of 25 in the Assembly polls
