In a major blow to Prashant Kishor ahead of next year’s Assembly elections in Bihar, former MPs Devendra Prasad Yadav and Munajir Hasan have resigned from the 125-member core committee of Jan Suraaj. As per the information, both leaders raised concerns about Kishor’s working style. However, they clarified that while they have stepped down from the core committee, they have not yet left the party.
On October 2, Political strategist-turned-activist Prashant Kishor announced the launch of his political outfit Jan Suraaj Party, a much-anticipated move by which he hopes to take the political landscape in Bihar by storm. Kishor had also named Manoj Bharti, a Madhubani-born former Indian Foreign Service Officer, as working president of the party, saying the latter will hold the post till March next year when organisational polls will be held.
