Prashant Kishor attack Jitan Ram Manjhi and said he can become Turncoat anytime.
Patna November 2, 2024: Prashant Kishor, the architect of the Jan Suraj Party, took aim at Hindustani Awam Morcha secular (HAMS) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi, accusing him of being politically inconsistent, or a “Paltimar” (turncoat).
Prashant Kishor claimed only two parties in Bihar:
Speaking at a rally in Imamganj to support Jan Suraj candidate Jitendra Paswan, Kishor remarked that Bihar’s political landscape is largely divided between two primary parties—Lalu Prasad Yadav’s RJD and Narendra Modi’s BJP. Kishor criticized Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) and Manjhi’s HAMS, suggesting that their leaders lack a stable stance and could easily switch sides, symbolically moving from supporting RJD’s lantern symbol to the BJP’s lotus.
Prashant Kishor projected Jan Suraj as a fresh alternative:
Kishor also underscored that with the emergence of Jan Suraj, the people of Bihar now have an alternative. He emphasized that Jan Suraj seeks to connect capable, ethical individuals from society with politics, aiming to establish a governance rooted in public welfare rather than political opportunism.
At a recent rally in Imamganj, Prashant Kishor urged the public to see the Jan Suraj Party as a fresh alternative, focused on putting the welfare of ordinary citizens at the forefront of politics.
He emphasized that, unlike established parties that prioritize family interests, Jan Suraj aims to bring competent, ethical individuals into politics to ensure governance for the people.
“ The public used to say they had no options,” Kishor said. “Now, with Jan Suraj, there is a choice—A party focused on the future of your children, their education, and employment, rather than making the children of leaders like Manjhi the next rulers.”
Prashant Kishor accused Jitan Ram Manjhi for promoting dynastic politics:
Kishor directed criticism at Jitan Ram Manjhi for promoting dynastic politics, highlighting that Deepa Manjhi, the daughter-in-law of Manjhi, is the HAMS candidate.
This, he argued, reflects a pattern of prioritizing family over the broader public interest, which he sees as common among traditional political leaders in Bihar.
Prashant Kishor promised to provide jobs in villages:
Kishor also committed to opportunities, assuring the people that by 2025, Bihar’s youth would not need to migrate to other states for work.
He promised that Jan Suraj would create jobs in Bihar itself, with local employment providing salaries of 10-12 thousand rupees, allowing young people to work in their own cities and villages. This, Kishor argued, would empower Bihari families to stay united while building a stronger state economy.
