Prashant Kishor compared Tejashwi with Abhishek and Lalu with Amitabh.
Patna, September 9: Prashant Kishor, the chief of Jan Suraj compared Tejashwi Yadav, the leader of the opposition in the Bihar assembly with Abhishek Bachchan and RJD national president Lalu Prasad Yadav with Amitabh Bachchan on Monday.
Through this, the Jan Suraj leader criticized Tejashwi Yadav and accused him of benefiting from nepotism.
“Tejashwi Yadav, as the son of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, does not need to establish his identity, as his lineage provides him with automatic recognition and opportunities. In contrast, people like me who lack such privileged backgrounds have had to carve out their own identities through hard work and perseverance,” he said.
To explain this difference, Prashant Kishor drew a parallel with the film industry.
“Shah Rukh Khan, whose father was not an influential person, especially in the film line, had struggled extensively to achieve success. He started his career in TV serials, Khan eventually made his way into films, where his talent and hard work led him to collaborate with top directors like Yash Chopra and Karan Johar. On the other hand, Abhishek Bachchan, son of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan was afforded opportunities right from the start, such as working with a prominent director like JP Dutta in his debut film (Refugee),” Kishor said.
Prashant Kishor’s remarks underscore his critique of political dynasties and the advantages they confer, contrasting his own journey with that of Tejashwi Yadav to highlight the challenges faced by those without such connections.
Prashant Kishor pointed out that, much like Abhishek Bachchan in the film industry, Tejashwi Yadav benefits from being the son of an influential leader of Bihar Lalu Prasad Yadav.
“As my father is not a powerful person like Tejashwi’s father, I have had to work hard to build my own identity. The path of someone who rises on their own merits is often more challenging. The public should consider these differences when choosing their leaders, suggesting that leadership should be based on merit and personal achievement rather than inherited status,” he said.

Prashant Kishor’s message to the public was clear: they must decide whether they want to be led by someone who has earned their position through hard work or someone who benefits from their own family’s status.
The comparison highlights Prashant Kishor’s broader critique of political dynasties and the advantage they confer and serves as a call for voters to consider the merits of those who have built their careers from the ground up.
