PK urged people to accept bribes if opposition leaders offer them during by-polls.

Patna November 1, 2024: Prashant Kishor (PK), the driving force behind Jan Suraj, asked people to accept money if any leader is offering them during the election.

Such a bold statement was made by Prashant Kishor in a public gathering in the Belaganj assembly constituency of Gaya district, Bihar.

PK said bribe offers by opposition leaders are public money:

“People should accept any money by opposition parties for votes, as it is their own money that politicians had previously looted. On the day of voting, enter the polling booths and vote in favour of  Jan Suraj,” PK said.

He appealed to the public to think critically when casting their votes, suggesting that they take the cash but vote with the future of their children in mind.

While explaining, Kishor said that the cash handouts—whether 500 or 2000 rupees— were essentially funds originally taken from the people through bribes and corrupt practices in public welfare programs.

PK highlighted that politicians have used public resources for five years and are now attempting to buy votes with a fraction of that money.

This by-poll is an opportunity to score against opposition leaders who offer bribes:

PK framed this election as a pivotal opportunity for voters to “teach a lesson” to those who, in his words, have betrayed the trust of the public.

His speech reflects his commitment to transforming Bihar’s political system, emphasizing accountability and encouraging people to vote not based on short-term gains but with a vision for a government dedicated to the welfare of future generations.

PK, the founder of Jan Suraj Abhiyan, is pushing forward with a dynamic campaign in Bihar’s upcoming by-election, rallying support with promises of a “new system” and advocating for genuine governance that aligns with public interests.

PK criticized the Lalu-Nitish governments:

Addressing large gatherings, Kishor has consistently met with communities, delving into their concerns and aspirations and openly discussing how Bihar’s political leaders, particularly Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar, have allegedly failed the public over their extensive time in power.

In his addresses, Kishor has presented a vision of systemic change, encouraging voters to support Jan Suraj as a party committed to reforming Bihar’s political landscape.

His critique of the prolonged rule of leaders like Yadav and  Kumar highlights unfulfilled promises, specifically in agriculture.

“Despite 35 years of their influence, Bihari farmers still struggle without proper access to agricultural land and resources, leaving many residents in agreement with his calls for reform,” Kumar said.

 Kishor’s rhetoric is centred on the idea that public involvement and a firm decision from the voters can dismantle the old governance system, which he described as mired in unkept promises and self-interest.

Emphasizing that true progress is only achievable when the public’s welfare is prioritized, he urged voters to take this chance to choose a government dedicated to the people.

His direct engagement has garnered notable support, as large crowds have consistently gathered to hear his perspective and share in his vision for a reformed Bihar.
